----------------------------------

I just started working on this topic today. See the [1_8_0-SNAPSHOT branch|https://github.com/qos-ch/slf4j/tree/1_8_0-SNAPSHOT] for the code. It's still very very preliminary and probably not even worth looking at.

> The {{org.slf4j.impl.StaticXYZBinder}} approach has been surprisingly successful for such a crude mechanism. However, with the advent of Java 9/jigsaw/modularisation we need a more standard approach. {{java.util.ServiceLoader}} introduced in Java 6 seems to fit the bill.
