+"""Python library for customizing robot.api.logger
+
+As robot.api.logger is a module, it is not easy to copy, edit or inherit from.
+This module offers a class to wrap it.
+The main point of the class is to lower verbosity of Robot logging,
+especially when injected to third party code (such as vpp_papi.VPPApiClient).
+
+Also, String formatting using '%' operator is supported.
+
+Logger.console() is not supported.
