             Summary: Introduce parameter positions and "repeat" annotations
                 Key: LOGTOOL-56
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/LOGTOOL-56
             Project: Log Tool
          Issue Type: Feature Request
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
            Reporter: David Lloyd
            Assignee: David Lloyd
            Priority: Optional


Introduce a {{@Pos({n, n, n})}} annotation that allows repeating and positional adjustment of a parameter  This would allow for things like this:

{code}
@LogMessage(level = DEBUG)
@Message(value = "Got a %d (%x)")
void gotNumber(@Pos({1, 2}) int value);
{code}

Unqualified parameters start counting from the position of the previous parameter.  If two parameters end up in the same position it's an error; if a position has no parameter that's an error as well.

Positional parameters should allow for multiple transformations too:

{code}
@LogMessage(level = DEBUG)
@Message(value = "Got a %s with a type of %s which has a hash code of %x")
void gotThing(@Pos(value = {1, 2, 3}, transform = {{}, {GET_CLASS}, {GET_CLASS, HASH_CODE}) Object thing);
{code}
