Print a Python function's arguments every time it is called
# This file defines a decorator '@log_to()' that logs every call to a
# function, along with the arguments that function was called with. It
# takes a logging function, which is any function that accepts a
# string and does something with it. A good choice is the debug
# function from the logging module. A second decorator '@logdebug' is
# provided that uses 'logging.debug' as the logger.
