NodeJS datetimestamp-ed logger
/**
* NodeJS logger with datetime stamp just because.
* ===============================================
*
* Hold onto your socks now.
*
* Usage example
* var logger = new (require('./logger'))().log;
* var prefixedLogger = new (require('./logger'))('[PREFIX]').log;
*
* var a = 'Hey girl.', b = { smooth: 'water' }
*
* logger('Hello world.', a , b);
* prefixedLogger('Hello world.', a , b);
* -> [2014-07-05T17:59:24Z] Hello world. Hey girl. { smooth: 'water' }
* -> [2014-07-05T17:59:24Z] [PREFIX] Hello world. Hey girl. { smooth: 'water' }
*
