        @remarks
            This class will create new log files and will retrieve instances
            of existing ones. Other classes wishing to log output can either
            create a fresh log or retrieve an existing one to output to.
            One log is the default log, and is the one written to when the
            logging methods of this class are called.
                @par
                        By default, Root will instantiate a LogManager (which becomes the 
                        Singleton instance) on construction, and will create a default log
                        based on the Root construction parameters. If you want more control,
                        for example redirecting log output right from the start or suppressing
                        debug output, you need to create a LogManager yourself before creating
                        a Root instance, then create a default log. Root will detect that 
                        you've created one yourself and won't create one of its own, thus
                        using all your logging preferences from the first instance.

        into anybody who includes it. This is needed for the
        Singleton template to work, but we actually only want it
        compiled into the implementation of the class based on the
        Singleton, not all of them. If we don't change this, we get
        link errors when trying to use the Singleton-based class from
        an outside dll.
        @par
        This method just delegates to the template version anyway,
        but the implementation stays in this single compilation unit,
        preventing link errors.
