Because in my book a class represents a certain domain-specific abstraction 
and encapsulates the data and behavior relevant to that abstraction. A 
logger does not fit that description for me. Come to think of it, I never 
actually had even such a need. As I indicated my usage pattern is to 
retrieve a logger by its name (well, a handle to it) when its needed (on the 
file level or the function level). Once retrieved, I keep that reference 
around (again, on the file level or the function level) for efficiency 
purposes. I understand Andrey's library provides that kind of behavior.
