@kbn/some-dev-log

@kbn/some-dev-log implements lowest-common denominator types for several loggers that we use in development tooling. In order for commonly used tools to accept either log instance we need a common interface for them to implement which gives enough functionality to get the job done but doesn't require implementing a bunch of fancy features in all loggers.

The interface mostly follows the console.log() interface, allowing you to pass a string as the first argument and then anything afterwards. The arguments are converted to a string by all loggers using util.format() from the standard library.

Currently, the loggers implementing this type are:

• <DocLink id="kibDevDocsToolingLog" />: The majority of dev tasks should use this log and it is automatically provided by the common dev-task wrapper provided by <DocLink id="kibDevDocsOpsDevCliRunner" />.
• <DocLink id="kibDevDocsOpsKbnPm"/> Log class: @kbn/pm runs before the repository is bootstrapped and needs a logger to use before other packages are available, so we have a separate and simple log implementation that code which implements the SomeDevLog class. Other code in the repository should rarely need to use this class or even know of it's existance.

Unless your package needs to be used by @kbn/pm there is little reason you should need to use this type, but it might be a good idea to use this type if there's a chance we might need to use your package in the future.
