Rationale and FAQ
Why string literals as scope names?
Why scoped attributes don't override existing attributes?
Why log records are weakly ordered in a multithreaded application?
Why wide-character version of the library requires wide attribute names?
Why attributes cannot be set with stream manipulators?
Why not using lazy streaming?
Why not using hierarchy of loggers, like in log4j? Why not Boost.Log4j? Etc.
