[web-devel] Error logging in Yesod

[Greg Weber]

I like Michael's straw man. The only missing aspect I see is specifying a
source. hslogger has this capability. This is useful for a web framework to
differentiate between database logging and request logging, etc. It can be
useful for an application when it grows in size.
Does logging need to be in the typeclass or does it make send to just import
it?
