-This module provides a few things:
-
-    1) A handy function for getting an object down to something that can be
-    JSON serialized.  See to_primitive().
-
-    2) Wrappers around loads() and dumps().  The dumps() wrapper will
-    automatically use to_primitive() for you if needed.
-
-    3) This sets up anyjson to use the loads() and dumps() wrappers if anyjson
-    is available.

-This module adds to logging functionality by adding the option to specify
-a context object when calling the various log methods.  If the context object
-is not specified, default formatting is used. Additionally, an instance uuid
-may be passed as part of the log message, which is intended to make it easier
-for admins to find messages related to a specific instance.
-
-It also allows setting of formatting information through conf.
