It would be nice to finally have logging in phobos.
Two small nit-picks:

The API doesn't follow the phobos naming conventions: functions (error,
fatal, ...) need to start with a lowercase letter. Same for enum
members. See http://dlang.org/dstyle.html

I guess the function string for writeLogMsg is fully-qualified? I'd
like to see module and function split into two parts. Or fully-qualified
function + module so the fully qualified function name can be sliced to
strip the module name: auto fn = func[module.length .. $]
