             Summary: Please consider to provide shortcuts for most common 
methods of Logger.
                 Key: LOG4J2-2326
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-2326
             Project: Log4j 2
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: API
            Reporter: Jerry Chin


Hey guys,

I'm using Log4j a lot in my project, it even becomes a little bit too verbose 
to type {{error}} {{info}} etc... I wonder whether if it's radical to add some 
shortcuts for these methods?

For example:
 {{t = trace}}
 {{d = debug}}
 {{i = info}}
 {{w = warn}}
 {{e = error}}
 {{f = fatal}}


{code:java}
 public class Demo {
     public void main(String[] args) {
         L.d("args: {}", Arrays.toString(args));

         int x = 1 + 2;
         L.i("final result: {}", x);

        if(x > 3) {
             L.e("unexpected result: {}", x); 
        }

        L.f("exit.");
     }
 }
{code}

for example's sake, {{debug, info, error and fatal}} are all employed in the 
code snippet, in reality, though it's not very likely, so the confused look of 
the these method should not be so scary.
