A logger that prints all messages with a readable output format.
The output format is based on the format used by [Supervisord](http://supervisord.org/). Future updates may include coulored output based on the log level of the message and selecting a log level based on the value of an input string (e.g. from a flag parsed by [docopt](https://github.com/docopt/docopt.rs)).
