Re: logging-log4j2 git commit: LOG4J-1724 Improve documentation

[Remko Popma]

I'm asking because there's an outstanding request to support the formatted 
timestamp in the JSON layout. 
(It currently has timestamp as an epoch long.)

This would be a nice way to address that and potential other future needs. 

I can't find the JIRA ticket for it now. Maybe it was on stackoverflow. 
This one is close but I want to go one step further.
