How to instantiate a logger in an Engine only once and then use only that object?

[Wins Lin]

I found this thread: http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/151906

One commentator says:

>To minimize engines polluting our logs, we just changed the logger for

>In engines.rb, update the logger method:

> def logger
> #RAILS_DEFAULT_LOGGER
> Logger.new(RAILS_ROOT + "/log/engines.log")

>development.log.

My question is, how to use it then? Wouldn't it instantiate a new Logger
instance every time I call it?

def some_foo_method
# I want to log something, I call the logger method
logger.debug("I did something")
end

So, the "logger" method instantiates a new Logger instance every time.
It is not good to have dozens logger instances in memory. How to avoid
it? How to instantiate only once and then just use that one instance?
