IMO logging library is required to support trace entry filtering based on:

1. Log level
DEBUG, WARNING, ... CRITICAL

2. Category
program flow, data flow, arguments, e.t.c

3. Keyword
Any subsystem of the end-user system could define unique keyword and trace 
entries should be marked by it. For example: "XMLparser", "SocketLib" e.t.c
