Hello Haskellers!

I have developed a very simple logging library to be extendable and easy-to-use. You can see the current release at http://hackage.haskell.org/package/hlogger/. The SimpleHLogger module is an example of what a HLogger implementation could look like. It could be used like this:

   import System.Log.SimpleHLogger

   main = do

      logger<- simpleLogger "test"

      loggerLog logger (Just ("LoggerTest", "main")) Debug "Test"

      loggerStop logger


As I have now implemented everything that I could think of, I would like to ask the Haskell community to give some feedback on HLogger so that I can continuing improving it. Some questions:

  1. Do you have any general/architectural thoughts on things I might
     be doing wrong?
  2. Is the ease-of-use goal contradicting making this library useful
     in more complex applications?
  3. Do I want to redesign HLogger to allow loggers to have a mutable
     state, and if so, how can I do that?
  4. Is there a nice way to provide the module and the function than
     using (Just ("LoggerTest, "main)) (shortening it somehow, I guess)?


Thanks!

Warm regards,
Jon Kristensen
