`salient/console` provides terminal output and message logging via an API similar to `console` in web browsers.

- Familiar methods like [Console::log()](https://salient-labs.github.io/toolkit/Salient.Core.Facade.Console.html#_log) and [Console::error()](https://salient-labs.github.io/toolkit/Salient.Core.Facade.Console.html#_error)
- Variants like [Console::logOnce()](https://salient-labs.github.io/toolkit/Salient.Core.Facade.Console.html#_logOnce) and [Console::errorOnce()](https://salient-labs.github.io/toolkit/Salient.Core.Facade.Console.html#_errorOnce) to output messages once per run
- Output to multiple targets
- Messages filtered by log level
- Formatting that reflects message priority and improves readability
- Optional Markdown-like syntax for additional formatting
- Colour output to TTYs
- [PSR-3 (Logger Interface)](https://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-3/) support via [Console::logger()](https://salient-labs.github.io/toolkit/Salient.Core.Facade.Console.html#_logger)
