Logger proxy

Any console.log, console.error, console.warn, or console.info you call will get routed to a different function of your choosing.

There are built-in handlers for POSTing a JSON document to an HTTP, sending a JSON string to a WebSocket server, or printing a JSON string out in an <pre> tag in a DOM element.

Additionally, you may pass a single-parameter function as the handler and do whatever you want after that.

Subsequent calls of logger.setup will chain calls together.

Example:

// HTTP POST to the relative URL /log/
logger.setup(logger.HTTP, "/log/");

// WebSocket on localhost
logger.setup(logger.WEBSOCKET, "ws://localhost");

// DOM element in the page
logger.setup(logger.DOM, "#idOfContainerElement");

// Or something really stupid:
logger.setup(logger.USER, alert);

// When you're done, just change the type to DISABLED and no proxy will be created
logger.setup(logger.DISABLED, "doesn't matter what is here");

The data sent to the proxy is a JSON object of the form:

{
    "name": "log", // or error, warn, info
	"args": [...] // a list of arguments used in the call
}

If any of the arguments are typeof === "object", then a shallow serialization of the object is performed, one level of properties deep. If any of those properties are objects, they will appear as the string "Object object".
