get_logger

Create a logger of the given name. You can call again <code>get_logger</code> and
provide the same name to get the same logger. It will not be recreated
unless recreate is TRUE.

Provides a set of utility function to prevent the spread of
utility scripts in W4M (Workflow4Metabolomics) tools, and centralize
them in a single package.
To note, some are meant to be replaced by the use of dedicated packages in the future, like
the parse_args() function: it is here only to prepare the ground for
more global changes in W4M scripts and tools.
This package is used by part of the W4M Galaxy modules, some of them
being available on the community-maintained GitHub repository for
Metabolomics' Galaxy tools <https://github.com/workflow4metabolomics/tools-metabolomics>.
