Eh - Steve very clearly explained why jul is is not an option; it does
not have NDC/MDC.
As Remmy said, this is easy to implement (it just a fancy name for using
a thread local). Also, I just looked at sl4j's source, and it relies on
the logging backend to actually implement MDC and NDC, so if you use
it's JUL backend it doesn't work!!
