 There is a sixth type of logging.Logger, MultiLogger, that allows for multiple loggers to be written to with a single call.
 
+Note that for some Loggers, the prefix may be modified - "literal" loggers (StdLogger and FileLogger) will append a space to the end of the prefix.
+If this is undesired (unlikely), you will need to modify (Logger).Prefix and run (Logger).Logger.SetPrefix(yourPrefixHere) for the respective logger.
+

 Every logging.Logger type has the following methods that correspond to certain "levels".
