Currently, the logger is stored in TLS. It's fine to setup a logger at the start of your program, but if you use spawn a lot, it's cumbersome to remember in each call to setup your logger again.

I think tasks should inherit the logger from the task that spawned it, perhaps with an option to turn it off (less important).

This issue is no longer relevant, since log is now a global logger, and not stored per thread.
