/**
 * A simple logging interface abstracting logging APIs.  In order to be
 * instantiated successfully by {@link LogFactory}, classes that implement
 * this interface must have a constructor that takes a single String
 * parameter representing the "name" of this Log.
 *
 *  The six logging levels used by Log are (in order):
 * 

 * trace (the least serious)
 * debug
 * info
 * warn
 * error
 * fatal (the most serious)
 * 
 * The mapping of these log levels to the concepts used by the underlying
 * logging system is implementation dependent.
 * The implementation should ensure, though, that this ordering behaves
 * as expected.
 *
 * Performance is often a logging concern.
 * By examining the appropriate property,
 * a component can avoid expensive operations (producing information
 * to be logged).
 *
 *  For example,
 * 
 *    if (log.isDebugEnabled()) {
 *        ... do something expensive ...
 *        log.debug(theResult);
 *    }
 * 
 * 
 *
 * Configuration of the underlying logging system will generally be done
 * external to the Logging APIs, through whatever mechanism is supported by
 * that system.
