Hilarious. I control-F'ed for "createLogger". All of the README uses
"createLogger". Makes me happy to see that I was at least half wrong and
also that you could use Mikeal's suggestion for "path of nicest api".

Anyway, now I'm wondering why module.exports is being set to the
constructor function object itself, AND THEN expando properties are
defined. Why not define them as static properties on Logger and have _one_
export?

Again, feel free to ignore me. (I'm turning into Statler and (or) Waldorf).
