Detailed Description

A generic endpoint for log messages.

The Journal has a few simple goals:

To be light-weight and copied by value. To allow logging statements to be left in source code. The logging is controlled at run-time based on a logging threshold.

It is advisable to check Journal::active(level) prior to formatting log text. Doing so sidesteps expensive text formatting when the results will not be sent to the log.
