bdlm/log supports a "blacklist" of values that should not be logged. This can be used to help prevent or mitigate leaking secrets into log files:

import (
    "github.com/bdlm/log"
)

func main() {
    log.AddSecret("some-secret-text")
    log.Info("the secret is 'some-secret-text'")

    // Output: the secret is '****************'
}

Which one will reach the other side of the river: The one who dreams of a raft, or the one that hitchhikes to the next bridge?
