Added a pretty_print option to the log class

Sony? · Sony? · commit 62f25c718ce2 · 2012-11-25T10:34:05.000+01:00
It isn't useful to log arrays if the result is 'Array'.

I noticed that I often use `Log::info(print_r($array, true));` and I'am probably not alone, so why not add this as a feature to the framework?
