It would make documentation easier and better supported in IDEs. 

The only negative thing about many methods that I can think of, is unittesting 
becomes slightly more 'tiring'. That made me think that we should perhaps 
provide a "slf4j-unit.jar" which is SLF4J tailored for unittesting, which is 
as light weight as possible, and maybe contain verification methods of 
expected input.

agree this is somewhat 'less clear',

but I don't think this is much better,

and 'msg' should be 'message', but even if it lacks communication, I can't 
think of anything better.
