Lets say I want the current date time displayed, when I call `info`

I think I could use

`logging(io,kind=:info)`

to redirect `info` messages to another `IOStream`

But I cannot figure out how to implement this `IOStream` that will get the message, pre-pend the date time info and then `println` this  
I guess I need to create an `IOStream` and start an `@async` Task which listens to the `IOStream` and then does the work

But how to do this exactly?

Any help appreciated
