R script that wraps futile.logger to emulate python style logging for six levels: TRACE, DEBUG, INFO, WARN, ERROR, FATAL.
#' @name logger.setup
#' @export
#' @title Set Up Python-Style Logging
#' @param traceLog file name or full path where \code{logger.trace()} messages will be sent
#' @param debugLog file name or full path where \code{logger.debug()} messages will be sent
#' @param infoLog file name or full path where \code{logger.info()} messages will be sent
#' @param warnLog file name or full path where \code{logger.warn()} messages will be sent

#' @return No return value.
#' @description Good logging allows package developers and users to create log files at different
#' levels to track and debug lengthy or complex calculations. "Python-style" logging is intended
#' to suggest that users should set up multiple log files for different log severities
#' so that the \code{errorLog} will contain only log messages at or above the \code{ERROR} level while
#' a \code{debugLog} will contain log messages at the \code{DEBUG} level as well as all higher
#' levels.
#'
#' Python-style log files are set up with \code{logger.setup()}. Logs can be set up for any
#' combination of log levels. Accepting the default \code{NULL} setting for any log file
#' simply means that log file will not be created.
#'
#' Python-style logging requires the use of \code{logger.debug()} style logging statements as seen
#' in the example below.
#' @note All functionality is built on top of the excellent \pkg{futile.logger} package.
#' @examples
#' \dontrun{
#' # Only save three log files
#' logger.setup(debugLog='debug.log', infoLog='info.log', errorLog='error.log')

#' # But allow lot statements at all levels within the code
#' logger.trace('trace statement #%d', 1)
#' logger.debug('debug statement')
#' logger.info('info statement %s %s', "with", "arguments")
#' logger.warn('warn statement %s', "about to try something dumb")
#' result <- try(1/"a", silent=TRUE)
#' logger.error('error message: %s', geterrmessage())
#' logger.fatal('fatal statement %s', "THE END")
