 * @discussion
 * Programmatically log debug information about a dispatch object. By default,
 * the log output is sent to syslog at notice level. In the debug version of
 * the library, the log output is sent to a file in /var/tmp.
 * The log output destination can be configured via the LIBDISPATCH_LOG
 * environment variable, valid values are: YES, NO, syslog, stderr, file.
 *
 * @param object
 * The object to introspect.
 *
 * @param message
 * The message to log above and beyond the introspection.
