/**
 * A Logger is used for logging information about events. Usually, there
 * is a seprate logger for each subsystem or component, although there
 * is a shared instance for components that make only occasional use of
 * the logging framework.
 *
 * <p>It is common to name a logger after the name of a corresponding
 * Java package.  Loggers are organized into a hierarchical namespace;
 * for example, the logger <code>"org.gnu.foo"</code> is the
 * <em>parent</em> of logger <code>"org.gnu.foo.bar"</code>.
 *
 * <p>A logger for a named subsystem can be obtained through {@link
 * java.util.logging.Logger#getLogger(java.lang.String)}.  However,
 * only code which has been granted the permission to control the
 * logging infrastructure will be allowed to customize that logger.
 * Untrusted code can obtain a private, anonymous logger through
 * {@link #getAnonymousLogger()} if it wants to perform any
 * modifications to the logger.
 *
 * <p>FIXME: Write more documentation.
