API call to write to the game log file

The original idea here was a way to get data out of the game to another process. Someone on IRC suggested alerting IRC or twitch when a rocket is launched. It occurred to me that one way to do that, which would also be generally useful, would be to just be able to write a line out to the game log file.

Hello,
you can write what you want to any file you want in script-output directory with game.write_file().
Also there is a rocket launched event -

Now it's up to you to out them both together
Greetings steinio

don't forget you also have access to log(debug.traceback())
not sure if that's specific to data code, or if it works with other things like scripting too.

log() works anywhere and writes out to the game log file.
