There needs to be a way to tell the logging package
that an application is done with a particular logger
object.  This is important for long-running processes
that want to use a logger to represent a related set of
activities over a relatively short period of time
(compared to the life of the process).

This is useful to allow creating per-connection loggers
for internet servers, for example.  Using a
connection-specific logger allows the application to
provide an identifier for the session that can be
automatically included in the logs without having the
application encode it into each message (a far more
error prone approach).
