logger.lua

--[[---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Logging helper. Writes to a log file and prints to the console.

This module is a lua script (logger.lua), you need to explicitly load it
with require('logger')

log:write("hello world!")
log:close()

Creates a new logger
@tparam string filename the filename of the log file
@tparam[opt] table listener an additional 'listener' to write data to, should implement a t:write(str) function
@treturn logger the new instance
@function logger
