  # The +Basic+ layout class provides methods for simple formatting of log
  # events. The resulting string follows the format below.
  #
  #     LEVEL  LoggerName : log message
  #
  # _LEVEL_ is the log level of the event. _LoggerName_ is the name of the
  # logger that generated the event. <em>log message</em> is the message
  # or object that was passed to the logger. If multiple message or objects
  # were passed to the logger then each will be printed on its own line with
  # the format show above.

    #    format( event )
    #
    # Returns a string representation of the given loggging _event_. See the
    # class documentation for details about the formatting used.
