Explanation
Provides the user a trigger for actions which may be sensitive to logging (i.e. creating a 'static' diagnostic display). The return will be true, if:
is_initialized() succeeded
it was 'time' for a throttled logger to write a new log event
In both these cases, true represents a change to console, false represents no change.
Specific example use case:
When working with the log*_throttle functions, I needed a way to detect whether a loginfo_throttle was actually printing, as I needed to know how many lines to escape and clear before writing new content on-top for a 'static' diagnostic display. The bool already existed, but just needed to be exposed to the user.
Add a bool return to expose whether log succeeded for:
