gg: never use console.log() to debug again!

gg() is a logger/debugger with several advantages:

• Annotated with automatic namespace based on source file and calling function.
  • Each namespace gets a unique color for easier visual parsing.
  • Simple syntax with wildcards to filter/hide debug output at runtime.
  • Millisecond diff (timestamps) for each namespace.
• Can be inserted into the middle of expressions (returns the value of the first argument).
• Can output a link that opens the source file in your editor (like VS Code).
• Simple to disable (turn all loggs into NOP's for production).
• Diagnostics/hints in dev console & terminal to help install and configure correctly.
• Faster to type.
