/**
* The org.slf4j.Logger interface is the main user entry point of SLF4J API.
* It is expected that logging takes place through concrete implementations

* <p/>
* <h3>Typical usage pattern:</h3>
* <pre>
* import org.slf4j.Logger;
* import org.slf4j.LoggerFactory;
*
* public class Wombat {
*
* <span style="color:green">final static Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(Wombat.class);</span>
* Integer t;
* Integer oldT;
*
* public void setTemperature(Integer temperature) {
* oldT = t;
* t = temperature;
* <span style="color:green">logger.debug("Temperature set to {}. Old temperature was {}.", t, oldT);</span>

* <span style="color:green">logger.info("Temperature has risen above 50 degrees.");</span>

* Be sure to read the FAQ entry relating to <a href="../../../faq.html#logging_performance">parameterized
* logging</a>. Note that logging statements can be parameterized in
* <a href="../../../faq.html#paramException">presence of an exception/throwable</a>.
