/**
 * <p>
 * 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.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * The six logging levels used by <code>Log</code> are (in order):
 * </p>
 * <ol>
 * <li>trace (the least serious)</li>
 * <li>debug</li>
 * <li>info</li>
 * <li>warn</li>
 * <li>error</li>
 * <li>fatal (the most serious)</li>
 * </ol>
 * <p>
 * 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.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * Performance is often a logging concern. By examining the appropriate property, a component can avoid expensive
 * operations (producing information to be logged).
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * For example, <code>
 *    if (log.isDebugEnabled()) {
 *        ... do something expensive ...
 *        log.debug(theResult);
 *    }
 * </code>
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * Configuration of the underlying logging system will generally be done external to the Logging APIs, through whatever
 * mechanism is supported by that system.
 * </p>
