Traditionally, logging code is written something like:

    (log/info "HTTP request to" (:request-method req) (:uri req))

So the priority of the log (info) and the formatting of the log line is
inlined into the source code.

A less complected piece of code would separate out what we want to monitor
(req) from how we monitor it. So inline we just write:

    (monitor/monitor req :ring/request)

This monitors the variable req and associates it with the namespaced
keyword :ring/request. In our logging namespace, we can then later define
how we want to report on that monitor:

    (monitor/add-reporter
     :ring/request
     (fn [req] (log/info "HTTP request to" (:request-method req) (:uri
req))))

This separates *what* we want to monitor from *how* we eventually log it.
It means we can do things like define a set of useful monitoring points in
a library, and then in a separate application decide on what's important.
