/**
 * Logger:
 *
 * Log requests with the given `options` or a `format` string.
 *
 * Options:
 *
 *   - `format`  Format string, see below for tokens
 *   - `stream`  Output stream, defaults to _stdout_
 *   - `buffer`  Buffer duration, defaults to 1000ms when _true_
 *   - `immediate`  Write log line on request instead of response (for response times)
 *
 * Tokens:
 *
 *   - `:req[header]` ex: `:req[Accept]`
 *   - `:res[header]` ex: `:res[Content-Length]`
 *   - `:http-version`
 *   - `:response-time`
 *   - `:remote-addr`
 *   - `:date`
 *   - `:method`
 *   - `:url`
 *   - `:referrer`
 *   - `:user-agent`
 *   - `:status`
 *
 * Formats:
 *
 *   Pre-defined formats that ship with connect:
 *
 *    - `default` ':remote-addr - - [:date] ":method :url HTTP/:http-version" :status :res[content-length] ":referrer" ":user-agent"'
 *    - `short` ':remote-addr - :method :url HTTP/:http-version :status :res[content-length] - :response-time ms'
 *    - `tiny`  ':method :url :status :res[content-length] - :response-time ms'
 *    - `dev` concise output colored by response status for development use
 *
 * Examples:
 *
 *      connect.logger() // default
 *      connect.logger('short')
 *      connect.logger('tiny')
 *      connect.logger({ immediate: true, format: 'dev' })
 *      connect.logger(':method :url - :referrer')
 *      connect.logger(':req[content-type] -> :res[content-type]')
 *      connect.logger(function(req, res){ return 'some format string' })
 *
 * Defining Tokens:
 *
 *   To define a token, simply invoke `connect.logger.token()` with the
 *   name and a callback function. The value returned is then available
 *   as ":type" in this case.
 *
 *      connect.logger.token('type', function(req, res){ return req.headers['content-type']; })
 *
 * Defining Formats:
 *
 *   All default formats are defined this way, however it's public API as well:
 *
 *       connect.logger.format('name', 'string or function')
 *
 * @param {String|Function|Object} format or options
 * @return {Function}
 * @api public
