General loggers are used in the standard way (message, args, etc), but data
loggers are used for different types of data. Instead of message, they
receive the experiment results (dict/list/np.array/binary data) and their
`formatMessage()` method should be modified in order to account for the
changed data-type.

This might indeed be an XY problem on my side. However, it seems that
someone already thought about it before and started implementing this
mechanism (`Manager.setLogRecordFactory()`), but didn't finish. That's why
I suggested this modification.
