[slf4j-dev] slf4j First day, null fix

[Joe Gooch]

So, it's my first day using slf4j, and I think it's great!  The message
formatter is wonderful and it's very simple to use.

However, I find with a message like this:

ComplexObject j;
logger.warn("This is my format {}", j);

I'm relying on MessageFormat to show a null intelligently. (Which
StringBuffer seems apt to do)  However, in this case, it appears when
running on JRE 1.6.0 b2, that the compiler thinks that a null j is
actually an Object[] instead of an Object, which means MessageFormat
gets a null array instead of a null object.

The fix is attached.

Thanks!
