No, my proposition doesn't apply to this case. If a user wants to use a standard Log4j 1.x appender, he should get an AppenderWrapper of the corresponding Log4j 2.x appender: the Log4j 1.x emulation must have its limits. However if a user wants to use a custom appender extending `org.apache.log4j.FileAppender`, then `getAppender` returns an AppenderWrapper of an AppenderAdapter of the custom appender. Converting back and forth between Log4j 1.x appenders and Log4j 2.x appenders is a little bit too much. `getAppender` should just return the custom appender.
