Nothing unsafe about a "C" style interface. This technique is used by thousands of applications.
Ellipsis is not safe. Neither in C, nor in C++. It's wide spread in C because there is no alternative, not because it's superior.
If you dont provide a "c" style logging interface, this library will be very limited in its use.
Please dont think that because this is boost, your limited to only c++ techniuques.
C users can create wrappers around the library, if there is interest in it. I mostly program in C++ and thus have little interest in providing such a wrapper.
As is, this library will scare off most developers.
I disagree. And you haven't specified the concrete parts of the library that look scary.
