 * \brief An implementation of a logging sink backend that outputs to the debugger
 *
 * The sink uses Windows API in order to write log records as debug messages, if the
 * application process is run under debugger. The sink backend also provides a specific
 * filter that allows to check whether the debugger is available and thus elide unnecessary
 * formatting.
