I didn't know about the exception() method. Thanks!

I'm trying to encapsulate all the setup work that must be done before any
actual logging occurs: setting the debugging level, choosing the output
filename, declaring a format string, adding the handler, etc.
If I didn't do all that in a class, where would I do it?
