I've spent some time discussing module names for logging
implementations recently:

I’d like to reverse this dependency to be that in the end, I want every module
in the app I construct to funnel through and use a single Logging
implementation so that I can linearize the logging streams into a single stream
of details that help me to understand the health and progress of my
ap
Thanks Alex and David, those are good arguments. So option 2 it is.

There's a good argument for 1, though. log4j typically doesn't separate api
and implementation. So a module would "require 'log4j'". It means that if
another module like slf4j doesn't "pretend to be" log4j, it's now going to
fail. Said differently, Jigsaw kills module replacements and fatjars.

(Thanks!)
Option 1:
All modules that implement a particular logging API must have the same
module name
eg. every module that implements "org.slf4j" (the API) must be named
"org.slf4j.impl"
