[infinispan-dev] cache name in logs

Hi,

I'm looking into some logs for the a JBW demo : it has 4 caches deployed on each node and lots of topology changes happen. It's close to impossible to tell  which log pertains to which cache, especially around the DistributionInterceptorImpl.
Wouldn't it make sense that, for certain components, to include the name of the cache in the logs? IThis might be achieved with minimal changes by adding an additional param to the LogFactory.getLog(Class) method and let the logger itself do the heavy lifting.
e.g. 
Log l = LogFactory.getLog(DistributionManagerImpl.class, "cacheName");
and on each call l.trace("A message") the logger might output, besides underlying log's format, the string "[cacheName] A message".

Wdyt?
Cheers,
Mircea
