I have not looked at v1 of the library, but I meant hierarchies like in 
log4j. You have a hierarchy of loggers where each logger has it's 
formatter and writer(s). Changes to the configuration somewhere in the 
hierarchy will propagate down to the loggers further down in the three. 
This an easy way of adjusting log levels etc. for a set of loggers 
instead of having to copy the settings to all loggers manually. It is 
possible to build a framework on top of the current library that will 
handle this so it's not a show stopper.
