There should be a binding-agnostic way of retrieving the root logger.

@@ Notes @@

@ LOGBack @

" The root logger resides at the top of the logger hierarchy. It is exceptional
in that it is part of every hierarchy at its inception. Like every logger, it
can be retrieved by its name, as follows: Logger rootLogger =
LoggerFactory.getLogger(LoggerContext.ROOT_NAME);"
http://logback.qos.ch/shortIntro.html
http://logback.qos.ch/apidocs/ch/qos/logback/classic/LoggerContext.html#ROOT_NAME

@ java.util.logging @

"The root Logger (named "") has no parent."
http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/logging/overview.html#1.3

@ Log4J @

"The Logger.getName() method for the root logger always returns stirng value:
"root". However, calling Logger.getLogger("root") does not retrieve the root
logger but a logger just under root named "root"."
http://logging.apache.org/log4j/docs/api/org/apache/log4j/Logger.html#getRootLogger()

@ Simple Log @

"Note that, while the levels for loggers in Simple Log are calculated using a
hierarchical namespace, there is not actually any logger hierarchy maintained
within the code."
https://simple-log.dev.java.net/nonav/userGuide/log4jComparison.html

@ x4juli @

API-compatible w/ java.util.logging - so root Logger is named "".
