Description
My understanding of history is that this library was made in a time where Crystal's `Log` class was not very robust and this library added functionality that was missing. (From what I've heard) The `Log` class is now better so we need to figure out what Dexter should look like going into the future and if there is even a place for it.
Should Dexter just be a library of formatters? [Lucky has some formatters](https://github.com/luckyframework/lucky/blob/master/src/lucky/pretty_log_formatter.cr) so should they be moved over or is it even worth it?
