"babe wake up, the new burntsushi just dropped"[0]

On a serious note, any rustaceans in here know the reason the crate doesn't use something like `tracing`? A bit too heavyweight maybe -- it is about half the size on crates?

`log` is of course fine, and I don't know that tracing down to the calls for tz operations is a normal use case, but always interested to know if there was a specific why here.

I think `log` is the lower common denominator, right? And `tracing` interops with it just fine? That's why I used it in Jiff I guess. And it's also been the thing I've been using since the birth of crates.io itself. Jiff doesn't have any requirements other than emitting messages at a specific log level.

But no, I'm sure `tracing` would have worked fine too.


Ah thanks for explaining the rationale and thanks for the lib! The thoughtful compare/contrast with chrono was an excellent read
