----------------------------------

Patrick's comments from the pull request:

I like the pass-thru logic; been meaning to do that for a while.

And I like having the messages queued if the connection is not open yet, or closed, or whatever.

Not thrilled with the change to @useRemote though. That method is intended to be used to switch the global window.console object from the weinre one to the original one, and back, but no longer does that in your version.

To complicate things a little, folks have asked for fine-grained control of the console, in terms of:

only display messages at the weinre console
only display messages at the original console
display messages in both places.
I think the default should be "both".

So, you could see this as three static methods on the Console class:

useRemote() - same as before, where it switches the window.console object between the weinre one and the original one. I still want that function there.

sendToWeinre() - another getter/setter function (setter returns original value) to indicate whether to send messages to weinre console

sendToNative() - another getter/setter function (setter returns original value) to indicate whether to send messages to original console

Actually, after having typed all that up, just realized it should be in a bug in JIRA. Please file an issue there so we can discuss further:

> Console log messages (log, debug, error, info, warn) from the target may be lost if they are executed on the device before the remote connection is fully complete.  These should be queued up if there is no remote connection (and dequeued when one is acquired) so all log messages are retained.
> I have a pull request at https://github.com/apache/incubator-cordova-weinre/pull/8 that does this as well as turns the Console into a passthru so that all calls to Console still act on the OriginalConsole as well as the RemoteConsole so that the target behavior with weinre is unchanged.
