Instrument Anything in Rails 3

With Rails 3.0 released a few weeks ago I've migrated a few apps and I'm constantly finding useful new improvements. One such improvement is the ability to log anything in the same way that Rails internally logs ActiveRecord and ActionView. By default Rails 3 logs look slightly spiffier than those produced by Rails 2.3: (notice the second line has been cleaned up)

	Some brief instructions on how to use Sprocket 2 in Rails to get CoffeeScript
	powered JS and SASS powered CSS with YUI compression all via the magic of rack.

	This stuff will be native in Rails 3.1 and the layout of the files on the
	filesystem will be different but this guide will get you working with it
	while we wait for all that to finalize.

	Ignore the number prefixes on each file. This is just to ensure proper order in the Gist.

	It's based on eric1234 gist https://gist.github.com/911003. ijust made it 3.1 compliant in terms of convention

	UPDATE: Please see some of the forks for an updated version of this guide. I
	myself have moved onto the Rails 3.1 betas to get the asset pipeline. But if
	you want to stay on stable there are other folks who are keeping this guide
	relevant despite the changes constantly occurring on Sprockets 2. The comments
	on this gist will lead you to the right forks. :)
