What I am proposing here are a mere ideas that will need further
investigation. I have not tried any of these ideas. You will have to
prioritize these ideas based on your requirements.
A. Implement an extension class for the ILog interface
B. Implement a custom ILog interface implementation and a LoggerFactory.
C. Define custom loglevels
D. Use thread context properties altogether with custom format layouts
E. Log "complex" classes that hold your category information and find a way
to format them
There might be more things that you could do..
