Current implementations use basic std.stdio facilities and

Unreliable, not KISS. I think it is a bad idea.
If the standard library does not provide the following from the
get go:
1. general usefulness
2. performance
3. KISS in terms of interface (not in language semantics)
then people will be better off rolling their own. Creating a
simple logger is not difficult, the challenge is in creating a
performant, generally useful one with legible syntax and full CT
type safety.
