/**
   A LoggerRepository is used to create and retrieve
   Loggers. The relation between loggers in a repository
   depends on the repository but typically loggers are arranged in a
   named hierarchy.

   In addition to the creational methods, a
   LoggerRepository can be queried for existing loggers,
   can act as a point of registry for events related to loggers.
