FWIW, I consider this library to be

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_logging

and not the database/filesystem logging stuff,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Write_ahead_logging

In terms of the Linux filesystem hierarchy standard, I would expect the 
usual directory targeted by programs using this library to be /var/log, 
whereas WAL most probably resides in another directory, e.g., /var/lib.
