A way around that is
var logger = new (require('logger'));
But that's ugly and, as I found out, jscoverage will strip the parenthesis
and break the code.
It's really, IMO, about consistency, if you export constructors in half the
modules and factories in others that's not going to help. Isaac's approach
is nice as long as developers follow it with their modules.
