I don't have empirical data to back this claim, but I strongly doubt that
this is preferred. As far as I'm concerned, a factory that does nothing but
wrap instantiation is a bug.

Why do you need the init()? Why not...
// log.js
// just export an instance. done.
export = require("bunyan")();
// In some other file...
var log = require("log");
log.info("blah blah blah");
(this suggestion is untested)
