//! # Parallel Logger
//!
//! This module provides a `ParallelLogger` struct that implements the `log::Log` trait.
//!
//! The `ParallelLogger` forwards log messages to other loggers, but it does so in a separate thread.
//! This can be useful in scenarios where logging can be a bottleneck, for example, when the logger writes
//! to a slow output (like a file or a network), or when there are a lot of log messages or in a realtime scenario.
//!
//! As an async framework might not yet be available when the logger is set up, async/await is not used.
//!
//! ## Usage
//!
//! First, create the actual loggers that you want to use, like for example `TermLogger`, `WriteLogger`
//! or even `CombinedLogger` from the `simplelog` crate. Any `log::Log` implementation will work.<BR>
//! Then, initialize the `ParallelLogger` with the maximum log level and the actual loggers:
//!
//! ```rust
//! use log::LevelFilter;
//! use simplelog::TermLogger;
//! use parallel_logger::ParallelLogger;
//!
//! let term_logger = TermLogger::new(
//! LevelFilter::Info,
//! simplelog::Config::default(),
//! simplelog::TerminalMode::Mixed,
//! simplelog::ColorChoice::Auto
//! );
//! // create more loggers here if needed and add them to the vector below
//!
//! ParallelLogger::init(LevelFilter::Info, vec![term_logger]);
//! ```
//!
//! Now, you can use the `log` crate's macros (`error!`, `warn!`, `info!`, `debug!`, `trace!`) to log messages.
//! The `ParallelLogger` will forward these messages to the actual loggers in a separate thread.
//!
