/**
* Provides methods for bundles to write messages to the log using printf-style
* format strings.
*
* Messages can be formatted by the Logger once the Logger determines the log
* level is enabled. Uses printf-style format strings as described in
* {@link java.util.Formatter}.
*
* You can also add a {@code Throwable} and/or {@code ServiceReference} to the
* generated {@link LogEntry} by passing them to the logging methods as
* additional arguments. If the last argument is a {@code Throwable} or
* {@code ServiceReference}, it is added to the generated {@link LogEntry} and
* then if the next to last argument is a {@code ServiceReference} or
* {@code Throwable} and not the same type as the last argument, it is also
* added to the generated {@link LogEntry}. These arguments will not be used as
* message arguments. For example:
*
*
* logger.info("Found service %s.", serviceReference, serviceReference);
* logger.warn("Something named %s happened.", name, serviceReference,
* throwable);
* logger.error("Failed.", exception);
*
*
* If an exception occurs formatting the message, the logged message will
* indicate the formatting failure including the format string and the
* arguments.
