can we please delay the import until it's actually needed? i.e., until after some logging option is enabled?
I have asked her to make this change.
I don't like the extra conditional dance it causes, but I agree that not wanting to log is a valid use case.
On the other hand, the one-time import cost is pretty low for a long-running process, and eventually gets paid if any other module calls logging. Would it make more sense to offer a null package that can be installed earlier in the search path if you want to truly disable logging?
