methods

log(msg)

Use for debugging, not saved to .log's, hidden if NODE_ENV === 'PRODUCTION'.

log.[level]([scope], message)

Where scope is optional and level can be one of the following:

• info - not the most important information
• warn - things might be going funky
• error - bad, but doesn't crash
• fatal - oh lord.
• success - something goes right for once
• trace - http server logs, db logs, spam, etc.

Prints out a nicely formatted line and saves to .log's.

log.e(msg)

Emphasize a word or two, used as the following

log.success('app', `read ${log.e('config.json')}`) 

log.inspect(object)

Stdout a deep representation of the given object.
