+Reckless is an extremely low-latency, high-throughput logging library.
+It was created to perform extensive diagnostic logging without
+worrying about performance. Other logging libraries boast the ability
+to throw log messages away very quickly. Reckless boasts the ability
+to keep them all, without worrying about the performance impact.
+Filtering can and should wait until you want to read the log, or need
+to clean up disk space.
+
+The code generated at the call site consists of:
+
+- Pushing the arguments on a thread-local queue. This has the same
+  cost as pushing the arguments on the stack for a normal function
+  call.
+- Call to Boost.Lockless (NB: this is bundled with the library, not
+  an external dependency) to register the write request on a shared
+  lockless queue. The actual message formatting and writing is
+  performed asynchronously by a separate thread.
