Umm, ok i'm wrong (I try to tell you what I mean when i say "binary compatible
not required". If you change to Object[] to Object... it's transparent
modification. It's "Binary compatible" (old application which use Object[] can
work without any binary(!)/source modification) but not "Java backward
compatible" (java 1.4 application can't use the new coolest slf4j version
because it's binary incompatible(!) (1.5 required)).
