[logback-dev] implied Throwables

[Glen Marchesani]

I love the project and am glad to see the new features added to logging in
general.

I am willing to write a patch for a feature but before I do I want to make
sure it is something you would be interested in.

There is no way to get a stack trace when using paramterized logging.  The
patch I want to add is that if the last parameter is a Throwable then it
gets passed to the fitlerAndLog() method as a thorable (instead of throwable
being null).

To explain in code.
log.debug( "Something happened parm1={} parm2={} parm3={}", 1, 2, 3, new
Throwable() );


This would not cause the Throwable to be logged.  So here are my questions

- if I added the code to ch.qos.logback.classic.Logger is that something you
are interested in?

- lacking that any recommendations on how to get this feature built in.


Looking forward to your comments and thanks for the great work on a great
logging framework...

regards,
Glen
