  g. Logger->init( $filename );
  h. Logger->init( \$string );

  i. # no explicit initialization at all (theres a default config)

The default config writes to stdout, and includes a test-coverage
setup.  This config is used at import() time, unless a or b is
provided by you.  If you explicitly call init(), the base is
re-initialized, and relys on base behavior to work correctly.

I hope at some point to provide init_modify(), which will overlay new
configuration on existing, rather than a full reinitialization.  This
will be implemented using Log4perls (currently nonexistent)
configuration include mechanism.

=head2 Automatic Dump of structured data

If you pass in a data-ref, its rendered using Data::Dumper, making it
easy to examine the details of the runtime context.  Since the Dump is
embedded inside the logging-method, its only called when needed,
avoiding work to produce output that will just be thrown away.
