// Logger provides a standardised logging interface.

	// SetLevel sets the minimum log level.

	// Good returns true if the Logger is healthy.
	Good() bool

	// Status returns an error corresponding to the logger's state;

	// Log messages consist of four components:
	//
	// 1. The **level** attaches a notion of priority to the log message.
	//    Several log levels are available:
	//
	//    + FATAL (32): the system is in an unsuable state, and cannot
	//      continue to run. Most of the logging for this will cause the
	//      program to exit with an error code.
	//    + CRITICAL (16): critical conditions. The error, if uncorrected, is
	//      likely to cause a fatal condition shortly.  An example is running
	//      out of disk space. This is something that the ops team should get
	//      paged for.
	//    + ERROR (8): error conditions. A single error doesn't require an
	//      ops team to be paged, but repeated errors should often trigger a
	//      page based on threshold triggers. An example is a network
	//      failure: it might be a transient failure (these do happen), but
	//      most of the time it's self-correcting.
	//    + WARNING (4): warning conditions. An example of this is a bad
	//      request sent to a server. This isn't an error on the part of the
	//      program, but it may be indicative of other things. Like errors,
	//      the ops team shouldn't be paged for errors, but a page might be
	//      triggered if a certain threshold of warnings is reached (which is
	//      typically much higher than errors). For example, repeated
	//      warnings might be a sign that the system is under attack.
	//    + INFO (2): informational message. This is a normal log message
	//      that is used to deliver information, such as recording
	//      requests. Ops teams are never paged for informational
	//      messages. This is the default log level.
	//    + DEBUG (1): debug-level message. These are only used during
	//      development or if a deployed system repeatedly sees abnormal
	//      errors.
	//
	//    The numeric values indicate the priority of a given level.
	//
	// 2. The **actor** is used to specify which component is generating
	//    the log message. This could be the program name, or it could be
	//    a specific component inside the system.
	//
	// 3. The **event** is a short message indicating what happened. This is
	//    most like the traditional log message.
	//
	// 4. The **attributes** are an optional set of key-value string pairs that
	//    provide additional information.
	//
	// Additionally, each log message has an associated timestamp. For the
	// text-based logs, this is "%FT%T%z"; for the binary logs, this is a
	// 64-bit Unix timestamp. An example text-based timestamp might look like ::
	//
	//   [2016-03-27T20:59:27-0700] [INFO] [actor:server event:request received] client=192.168.2.5 request-size=839
	//
	// Note that this is organised in a manner that facilitates parsing::
	//
	//   /\[(\d{4}-\d{3}-\d{2}T\d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2}[+-]\d{4})\] \[(\w+\)]\) \[actor:(.+?) event:(.+?)\]/
	//
	// will cover the header:
	//
	// + ``$1`` contains the timestamp
	// + ``$2`` contains the level
	// + ``$3`` contains the actor
	// + ``$4`` contains the event
