What would the signature of log.warn() look like? Is the following legal java?

interface Logger {
   void warn(enum e);
}

I don't think it is.

Well, I did not actually mean to hack a complete solution but back up words with 
  at least some example code. Otherwise, it gets too abstract for me...

Previously, when I wrote: "You may wish to fork SLF4J on git." I meant to say 
githib not git.

By the way, the archives for this discussion are available from
http://www.slf4j.org/pipermail/dev/2009-August/date.html

Thus, there is perhaps no need to cc Rodney, Takeshi and David. They can read 
the discussion from the archives if they wish to. If they wish to respond, they 
can do so after subscribing to the dev at slf4j mailing list. They can't respond to 
the mailing list without subscribing first. When replying, I won't add or remove 
addressed on my own initiative.
