Ability to pad level in logging output? #35

Closed johndrinkwater closed 5 years ago

johndrinkwater commented 5 years ago

It would be great if https://github.com/Drakulix/simplelog.rs/blob/master/src/loggers/logging.rs#L56 were able to use a custom formatting string to align or pad the level so that ERROR & INFO etc would neatly align the first character of their messages, for skimming over a large amount of output…

Luckily the log crate supports this already by using fmt.pad in the right place https://github.com/rust-lang-nursery/log/blob/master/src/lib.rs#L488
