Having read the thread, I don't think Marker is a good idea for what

SLF4J is "intended to serve as a simple façade for various logging APIs".
I don't know of any logging APIs that support the two-dimensional logging
being proposed (though I suspect some I have come across would be able to
handle it).
I know my logging package doesn't, and, because of its philosophy, it
probably never will.
Does JDK Logging have features that would support this? (i.e. filtering by
Marker - that's what you're aiming for, right?)
My feeling is that you would reduce the usefulness of the interface by
adding more complex schemes like this that not many logging packages will
be able to support in a meaningful way.
Hello Graham,
Although I like the idea of markers quite a bit, you maybe right in your
observation that markers make the SLF4J Logger interface unnecessarily
heavy. Other participants, namely Greg and Niclas, have made similar
observations. In short, although markers maybe good, they are perhaps not
appropriate in SLF4J.
Would you prefer Markers to be dropped in the next version of SLF4J?
Graham.
