Description: *Latest release 20191004*:
        @pfx_method: new optional `use_str` parameter to use str(self) instead of type(self).__name__; now requires @cs.deco.decorator
        
        Dynamic message prefixes providing execution context.
        
        The primary facility here is Pfx,
        a context manager which maintains a per thread stack of context prefixes.
        
        Usage is like this:
        
            from cs.pfx import Pfx
            ...
            def parser(filename):
              with Pfx("parse(%r)", filename):
                with open(filename) as f:
                  for lineno, line in enumerate(f, 1):
                    with Pfx("%d", lineno) as P:
                      if line_is_invalid(line):
                        raise ValueError("problem!")
                      P.info("line = %r", line)
        
        This produces log messages like:
        
            datafile: 1: line = 'foo\n'
        
        and exception messages like:
        
            datafile: 17: problem!
        
        which lets one put just the relevant complaint in exception and log
        messages and get useful calling context on the output.
        This does make for wordier logs and exceptions
        but used with a little discretion produces far more debuggable results.
        
        ## Function `gen(func)`
        
        Decorator for generators to manage the Pfx stack.
        
        Before running the generator the current stack height is
        noted.  After yield, the stack above that height is trimmed
        and saved, and the value yielded.  On recommencement the saved
        stack is reapplied to the current stack (which may have
        changed) and the generator continued.
        
        ## Class `Pfx`
        
        A context manager to maintain a per-thread stack of message prefixes.
        
        ### Method `Pfx.__init__(self, mark, *args, **kwargs)`
        
        Initialise a new Pfx instance.
        
        Parameters:
        * `mark`: message prefix string
        * `args`: if not empty, apply to the prefix string with `%`
        * `absolute`: optional keyword argument, default False. If
          true, this message forms the base of the message prefixes;
          existing prefixes will be suppressed.
        * `loggers`: which loggers should receive log messages.
        
        *Note*:
        the `mark` and `args` are only combined if the `Pfx` instance gets used,
        for example for logging or to annotate an exception.
        Otherwise, they are not combined.
        Therefore the values interpolated are as they are when the `Pfx` is used,
        not necessarily as they were when the `Pfx` was created.
        If `args` is subject to change and you require the original values,
        apply them to `mark` immediately, for example:
        
            with Pfx('message %s ...' % (arg1, arg2, ...)):
        
        This is a bit more expensive, and the common usage is:
        
            with Pfx('message %s ...', arg1, arg2, ...):
        
        ## Function `pfx(func)`
        
        Decorator for functions that should run inside:
        
            with Pfx(func_name):
        
        Use:
        
            @pfx
            def f(...):
        
        ## Function `pfx_iter(tag, iterable)`
        
        Wrapper for iterables to prefix exceptions with `tag`.
        
        ## Function `pfx_method(*da, **dkw)`
        
        Decorator to provide a `Pfx` context for an instance method prefixing
        *classname.methodname*
        (or *str(self).methodname* if `use_str` is true).
        
        ## Class `PfxCallInfo`
        
        MRO: `Pfx`  
        Subclass of Pfx to insert current function an caller into messages.
        
        ## Function `pfxtag(tag, loggers=None)`
        
        Decorator for functions that should run inside:
        
            with Pfx(tag, loggers=loggers):
        
        Use:
        
            @pfxtag(tag)
            def f(...):
        
        ## Function `PfxThread(target=None, **kw)`
        
        Factory function returning a Thread
        which presents the current prefix as context.
        
        ## Function `prefix()`
        
        Return the current Pfx prefix.
        
        ## Function `PrePfx(tag, *args)`
        
        Push a temporary value for Pfx._state._ur_prefix to enloundenify messages.
        
        ## Function `XP(msg, *args, **kwargs)`
        
        Variation on `cs.x.X`
        which prefixes the message with the current Pfx prefix.
        
        ## Function `XX(prepfx, msg, *args, **kwargs)`
        
        Trite wrapper for `XP()` to transiently insert a leading prefix string.
        
        Example:
        
            XX("NOTE!", "some message")
