I needed exactly this for the sysout-over-slf4j module that I'm hoping will be included as an SLF4J bridging module.  Ceki told me that it was acceptable for an extension module to require Java 5.  I've written an implementation here:
http://github.com/Mahoney/slf4j/blob/master/sysout-over-slf4j/src/main/java/org/slf4j/sysoutslf4j/context/LogLevel.java

Nothing very brilliant, you've probably written it yourself already.  And it only does the two methods I needed.  Still, thought it might be worth mentioning.
