Once the 2.101.0 docs are live, the example in question will be found at https://dlang.org/phobos/std_logger.html instead.

The 2.108.1 are live, and the example at that URL still doesn't work.

This seems to do the trick:

sharedLog = cast(shared(Logger)) new FileLogger("foo.log");

Is this now considered the correct way to do it?

It would be nice if awkward casts like this were not imposed on the user.

There is a PR to adjust the documentation for this (https://github.com/dlang/phobos/pull/8995) but, as Nicholas Wilson points out, the correct syntax would be

```d
sharedLog = new shared(FileLogger)(yourFile);
```

This does not work since there is currently no shared constructor. I have tried to implement one in https://github.com/dlang/phobos/pull/8996, but that's way harder than I expected. I hope somebody smarter than me will be able to, because the difficulty of it suggests to me that just casting to shared is not a good solution.
