Synopsis

"log" - A light console.log - wrapper

http://paulirish.com/2009/log-a-lightweight-wrapper-for-consolelog/

NOTE: Always wraps the given arguments in an array for better content formatting in the different browsers' consoles! Don't be surprised!

A little bit longer:

A simple log command to be able to call log('something') on both client and server.

On the client it writes to the browser console, on the server to stdout / wherever console.log puts its stuff.

Makes sure the console.log - command exists (eg. older IEs), and allows for dumping arguments and basically anything else.

Behaves like the standard console.log in that it's possible to pass multiple parameters.

Also it wraps all items to be logged in an array which tends to lead to a more readable console.log output.
