Allow logging timings to a logger

[dwighthubbard]

Would there be any reason not to allow an option to have the timeit decorator be able to log the information to a logger instead of sys.stderr?

Hm. It never occurred to be me because profilehooks is basically a bunch of hacks for interactive debugging, while logging timings is something that smells of production use.

Logging the timings in function calls is very useful for debugging things like web clients that may have intermittent errors.

I'm thinking about what the interface should be like.

from profilehooks import timecall
@timecall(logger='loggername')

would work, but wouldn't it be tedious to repeat that every time?

I did a fork where I implemented it basically like that https://github.com/dwighthubbard/profilehooks although I used log_name and log_level to specify the logging.
