It is natural IMO that this facade exposes features from log4j since
the author is the same. Personally, I try to avoid log4j at all costs,
since it is by design less robust than java.util.logging
(java.util.logging is using a singleton design, and lives in the JVM
classloader, so there cannot be any class conflicts).
