Jumping back to the specific approach...

Out of curiousity, why add in annotation processing to the mix? Seems like a 
clever enough approach, but most projects I've worked with don't involve 
annotations/code generation in the logging mix (apart from e.g. Lombok + Slf4j 
annotations).

Clebert, what do you see as the alternative to using annotations for this (what 
you considered before proposing this approach)?
