+// Package log provides a structured logger.
+//
+// Structured logging produces logs easily consumed later by humans or
+// machines. Humans might be interested in debugging errors, or tracing
+// specific requests. Machines might be interested in counting interesting
+// events, or aggregating information for off-line processing. In both cases,
+// it is important that the log messages are structured and actionable.
+// Package log is designed to encourage both of these best practices.
+//
+// Basic Usage
+//
+// The fundamental interface is Logger. Loggers create log events from
+// key/value data. The Logger interface has a single method, Log, which
+// accepts a sequence of alternating key/value pairs, which this package names
+// keyvals.
+//
+//    type Logger interface {
+//        Log(keyvals ...interface{}) error
+//    }
+//
+// Here is an example of a function using a Logger to create log events.
+//
+//    func RunTask(task Task, logger log.Logger) string {
+//        logger.Log("taskID", task.ID, "event", "starting task")
+//        ...
+//        logger.Log("taskID", task.ID, "event", "task complete")
+//    }
+//
+// The keys in the above example are "taskID" and "event". The values are
+// task.ID, "starting task", and "task complete". Every key is followed
+// immediately by its value.
+//
+// Keys are usually plain strings. Values may be any type that has a sensible
+// encoding in the chosen log format. With structured logging it is a good
+// idea to log simple values without formatting them. This practice allows
+// the chosen logger to encode values in the most appropriate way.
+//
+// Contextual Loggers
+//
+// A contextual logger stores keyvals that it includes in all log events.
+// Building appropriate contextual loggers reduces repetition and aids
+// consistency in the resulting log output. With, WithPrefix, and WithSuffix
+// add context to a logger. We can use With to improve the RunTask example.
+//
+//    func RunTask(task Task, logger log.Logger) string {
+//        logger = log.With(logger, "taskID", task.ID)
+//        logger.Log("event", "starting task")
+//        ...
+//        taskHelper(task.Cmd, logger)
+//        ...
+//        logger.Log("event", "task complete")
+//    }
+//
+// The improved version emits the same log events as the original for the
+// first and last calls to Log. Passing the contextual logger to taskHelper
+// enables each log event created by taskHelper to include the task.ID even
+// though taskHelper does not have access to that value. Using contextual
+// loggers this way simplifies producing log output that enables tracing the
+// life cycle of individual tasks. (See the Contextual example for the full
+// code of the above snippet.)
+//
+// Dynamic Contextual Values
+//
+// A Valuer function stored in a contextual logger generates a new value each
+// time an event is logged. The Valuer example demonstrates how this feature
+// works.
+//
+// Valuers provide the basis for consistently logging timestamps and source
+// code location. The log package defines several valuers for that purpose.
+// See Timestamp, DefaultTimestamp, DefaultTimestampUTC, Caller, and
+// DefaultCaller. A common logger initialization sequence that ensures all log
+// entries contain a timestamp and source location looks like this:
+//
+//    logger := log.NewLogfmtLogger(log.NewSyncWriter(os.Stdout))
+//    logger = log.With(logger, "ts", log.DefaultTimestampUTC, "caller", log.DefaultCaller)
+//
+// Concurrent Safety
+//
+// Applications with multiple goroutines want each log event written to the
+// same logger to remain separate from other log events. Package log provides
+// two simple solutions for concurrent safe logging.
+//
+// NewSyncWriter wraps an io.Writer and serializes each call to its Write
+// method. Using a SyncWriter has the benefit that the smallest practical
+// portion of the logging logic is performed within a mutex, but it requires
+// the formatting Logger to make only one call to Write per log event.
+//
+// NewSyncLogger wraps any Logger and serializes each call to its Log method.
+// Using a SyncLogger has the benefit that it guarantees each log event is
+// handled atomically within the wrapped logger, but it typically serializes
+// both the formatting and output logic. Use a SyncLogger if the formatting
+// logger may perform multiple writes per log event.
+//
+// Error Handling
+//
+// This package relies on the practice of wrapping or decorating loggers with
+// other loggers to provide composable pieces of functionality. It also means
+// that Logger.Log must return an error because some
+// implementations—especially those that output log data to an io.Writer—may
+// encounter errors that cannot be handled locally. This in turn means that
+// Loggers that wrap other loggers should return errors from the wrapped
+// logger up the stack.
+//
+// Fortunately, the decorator pattern also provides a way to avoid the
+// necessity to check for errors every time an application calls Logger.Log.
+// An application required to panic whenever its Logger encounters
+// an error could initialize its logger as follows.
+//
+//    fmtlogger := log.NewLogfmtLogger(log.NewSyncWriter(os.Stdout))
+//    logger := log.LoggerFunc(func(keyvals ...interface{}) error {
+//        if err := fmtlogger.Log(keyvals...); err != nil {
+//            panic(err)
+//        }
+//        return nil
+//    })
