Definitely.

That is exactly what Logging is there for, so that people are encouraged
to put the log code in their packages without worrying about how the
actual logging is done, timestamped etc. You can let the user choose how
the output is provided/used/managed (e.g. SimpleLog does log file
rotation). The default backend is simply a Null instance (it
should/could be a minimal Transcript Log equivalent to Transcript show:)

There are also utilities for timing events, so you could start a timer
when you send a query and print it when you get the result.

If you load "SimpleLog" (from the gjallar team) this uses Syslog,
transcript, LogMorph or files (not rio, just a basic filestream)
