Description

What is the feature you'd like to have?
It would be great if there could be an update to the log API that lets you specify which logger you want to log to stdout/stderr.

Is your feature request related to a problem?
I want to output a single logger's content to stdout, but I cannot do that.

Are any alternative solutions acceptable?
None that I can think of.

Additional Information:
Should probably check other log functions that redirect output to see if they can also be updated to handle a single logger. Also might be nice to be able to hand it a set of loggers rather than a single one.

Research direction

Start by locating the log APIs that redirect output to stdout or stderr, then review how they currently select loggers. Decide whether the interface should support one logger, a set of loggers, or both. Done means the selected logger output can be redirected without affecting unrelated loggers, with the other redirect APIs considered as noted in the issue.
