Title: Enhancements to the Log class

Allow loggers to be created without repetition of class names in a static context. This is achieved by inspecting stack frame, more details here. I've used this code in production systems for a few years now, and think it avoids a large class of copy-paste logger errors some programmers make.

More details about the "inventor" here:
