I didn't talk about discovering log caller's method. I talked about
automatically Category determining. In such case, user would not have to get
Category before logging.
Instead of Category.getInstance(_My_object_.class.getName()).debug(...) code
would be Log.debug(...).

I think it would be useful to add capability of dumping object. On my last
project I spent a lot of time when discovering properties of objects, used
in my project. By using such code it would be more simple to debug projects.
Adding object's dumper as default renderer for user-defined objects would be
not very efficient. On every new project you would have to change dumped
objects. I think, that it is not convenient.
