//
// <synopsis> 
// The <src>LogOriging</src> class is used to record the location at which a
// <linkto class="LogMessage">LogMessage</linkto> originates. It consists of:
// <ul>
// <li> A class name, which is blank in the case of a global function.
// <li> A function name - global or member. You should "cut and paste" not only
//      the function name, but also the arguments (but not the return type) to
//      ensure that the function name is unique in the face of overloading.
// <li> A source file name, usually filled in with the <src>WHERE</src>
//      predefined macro.
// <li> A line number, usually filled in with the <src>__LINE__</src> or
//      <src>WHERE</src> macros.
// <li> An <linkto class="ObjectID">ObjectID</linkto> if the log message comes
//      from a distributed object (if you don't know what this means, 
//      you don't need to worry about it).
// <li> Eventually we may want to canonicalize the path in the filename.
// </ul>
// </synopsis> 
//
// <example>

// </example>
// See the examples for <linkto class="LogMessage">LogMessage</linkto> and in
// <linkto file="Logging.h">Logging.h</linkto>.
//
// <motivation>
// It can be very useful for debugging if you know where a message is coming
// from.
