Is it possible to group logs? #600

Is it possible to group logs like in js (console.group(), console.groupEnd())?

It's useful to visually create hierarchies of logs, e.g:

Compiling code
|--- Lexing
|--- Parsing
|--- Compiling imported module#1
|      |--- Lexing
|      |--- Parsing
|
| ---Compiling imported module#2
       |--- Lexing
       |--- Parsing

We don't provide something exactly like group and groupEnd. However we have some tools you can use to group logs. You can set the target to any string to correlate messages, in additional you have the (Rust source code) module name. You can opt in to the currently unstable (https://github.com/rust-lang/log/issues/436) key-values, which allows you to add key-value pair, with which you can add your own group info.

Structured logging support has been recently stabilized. You can read about it in the docs here.

I'll go ahead and close this one now, but please feel free to open new issues with any new questions you might have!
