        <pre>The typical way of adding logging to a class involves a reference to the class
itself:
    private static final Logger kLogger =
LoggerFactory.getLogger(MyClass.class);

Not all tooling catches renames and whatnot -- I've had several occasions where
the old class reference inadvertently came along for the ride and made for
misleading logs.

I started putting this into a little utility class in my projects to prevent
this and I think it would be a good addition to LoggerFactory. While the
stacktrace calls might not be the cheapest, it's only hit during class
initialization.

    public static Logger getDefaultClassLogger() {
        return
LoggerFactory.getLogger(Thread.currentThread().getStackTrace()[2].getClassName());
    }</pre>
