+/**
+ * A placeholder class that contains a reference to the log object used by
+ * the Venison package. This is a useful pattern to use when using the
+ * samskivert logging facilities. One creates a top-level class like this
+ * one that instantiates a log object with an name that identifies log
+ * messages from that package and then provides static methods that
+ * generate log messages using that instance. Then, classes in that
+ * package need only import the log wrapper class and can easily use it to
+ * generate log messages. For example:
+ *
+ * <pre>
+ * import org.waywardgeeks.venison.Log;
+ * // ...
+ * Log.warning("All hell is breaking loose!");
+ * // ...
+ * </pre>
+ *
+ * @see com.samskivert.util.Log
