 ipc.log will accept any number of arguments and if `ipc.config.silent` is not set, it will concat them all with a single space ' ' between them and then log them to the console. This is fast because it prevents any concatenation from happening if the ipc.config.silent is set ` true `. That way if you leave your logging in place it should have almost no effect on performance.
 
-The log also uses util.inspect You can control if it should log in color as well as the log depth via ` ipc.config `
