/// {@category Core}

/// following statement.
///
/// Returns the value of [when]. Some debuggers may display [message].
///
/// NOTE: When invoked, the isolate will not return until a debugger
/// continues execution. When running in the Dart VM, the behaviour is the same
/// regardless of whether or not a debugger is connected. When compiled to
/// JavaScript, this uses the "debugger" statement, and behaves exactly as
/// that does.

///
/// - [message] is the log message
/// - [time] (optional) is the timestamp
/// - [sequenceNumber] (optional) is a monotonically increasing sequence number
/// - [level] (optional) is the severity level (a value between 0 and 2000); see
///   the `package:logging` `Level` class for an overview of the possible values
/// - [name] (optional) is the name of the source of the log message
/// - [zone] (optional) the zone where the log was emitted
/// - [error] (optional) an error object associated with this log event
/// - [stackTrace] (optional) a stack trace associated with this log event
