--------------------------------------------------------------

I think there is still some confusion on how to use this.

The {{ContextInjector}} interface is not intended to be used by the 
application. It is only used internally by Log4j.

I propose that the Scala module provides a utility class similar to the 
log4j-api ThreadContext class, that allows users to put key-value pairs in the 
Finacle Context (or in Locals). _This_ is the API that applications would use. 
I imagine this utility would be used similarly to the log4j-api ThreadContext.

The {{ScalaContextInjector}} implementation would take the key-value pairs out 
of the Locals and copy them into the LogEvent's CustomData every time something 
is logged.

> It would be useful to have a way to inject context properties into a 
> {{LogEvent}}, as an alternative to {{ThreadContext}}.
> In an asynchronous environment, using ThreadContext as currently implemented 
> is not so useful since JVM threads might not be coupled to the logical flow 
> of the application.
