 attempt to be "the" logging solution or even "a" logging solution for
 AnyEvent - AnyEvent simply creates logging messages internally, and this
 module more or less exposes the mechanism, with some extra spiff to allow
 using it from other modules as well.

 The module is also usable before AnyEvent itself is initialised, in which
 case some of the functionality might be reduced.
 The amount of documentation might indicate otherwise, but the runtime part
 You can normally only log a message once at highest priority level (C<1>,
 C<fatal>), because logging a fatal message will also quit the program - so
 use it sparingly :)
+For example, a program that finds an unknown switch on the commandline
+might well use a fatal logging level to tell users about it - the "system"
+in this case would be the program, or module.
 Some methods also offer some extra levels, such as C<0>, C<off>, C<none>
 or C<all> - these are only valid for the methods that documented them.

 Since C<AnyEvent::Log> has to work even before the L<AnyEvent> has been
 initialised, this switch will also decide whether to use C<CORE::time> or
 C<Time::HiRes::time> when logging a message before L<AnyEvent> becomes
 available.

+Formats a timestamp as returned by C<< AnyEvent->now >> or C<<
