Another approach would be to agree on a stub method in Object that could
be implemented by logging packages.
Some may have noticed that I had a log:flog: stub in Object in my first
versions of the network rewrite. Similar semantic to the proposed
package here.
I always find it helpful to have logging available if needed without
going into code and finding out the interesting places. One example is
logging what's going on with loading in the background etc.
A stub method would allow developers to put the logging calls into place
and people can load the logging facility of their choosing if they
actually want to log something.
At least until we have #ifdef ;-)
Summary:
stub yes, package no
