/**
   RootLogger sits at the top of the logger hierachy. It is a
   regular logger except that it provides several guarantees.

   First, it cannot be assigned a null
   level. Second, since root logger cannot have a parent, the
   {@link #getChainedLevel} method always returns the value of the
   level field without walking the hierarchy.
