View source for ServerJS/API/console

Many client-side libraries already support a JavaScript console object.  Since this functionality is useful on the server, and to ease migration of client-side JavaScript to the server, server-side JavaScript platforms need to provide a "console" object suitable for use with minimal modification to existing scripts.  Rather than provide a "console" free variable like web browsers, interoperable JavaScript modules may explicitly import the "console" module and bind it to a module local "console" variable.

= Specification =

The "console" top-level module must be available in all platforms.  The module must provide the following exports:

; log(message) : logs a message
; info(message) : logs an informational message
; warn(message) : logs a warning message
; error(message) : logs an error message

Messages may be any reference.  Names must be strings.
