Hi All,

I get bit by this every time I try to make my markers "fancy" so I took the
time this go around to open up a discussion :-)

I want markers:

Bob.children.John
Bob.children.Jimmy
Alice.children.Rose
Alice.children.Sue
(Never mind Alice.chidren.Bob)

I want to turn off only "Bob.children" but I can't because "children" is
effectively global and either can be defined in code with:
Only Bob as it's parent,
Only Alice as it's parent,
Both Bob and Alice as parents (uh...?)

This is a complete mismatch with hierarchical naming with have with Loggers
and confusing to no end, and not documented.

Can/should we "fix" markers to behave like a clean hierarchy?

Or, should hierarchical marker names be provided in some different way?
With a different character than a dot for example?

I was about to write some docs internal to a product at work to show how to
get logging to perform these fancy tricks but I won't until I get a
clearer picture of what we can/should do for this type of use case.

TY!
Gary
