4. Replace defaultLogger with theLog. "Logger" is a word, but one
that means "lumberjack" so it doesn't have the appropriate semantics.
The use is generally acceptable as a nice play on words and as a
disambiguator between the verb "to log" and the noun "log". When we
actually want to talk about the current log in an application, we
should, however, call it "the log". This is negotiable.
I really don't care how a global Logger instance is called. Anyone
else has an opinion on this? Otherwise Andrei wins.

I propose 'stdlog'.
I thought of the same but then rejected it - stdlog looks like offering
the same interface as stdout and stderr. Nevertheless it's a sensible
choice, too. -- Andrei
