Description

The @Log annotation will automatically add a Logger named log to an annotated class.

Several people have requested the ability to name the logger.

This change adds an optional parameter to all of the @Log family of annotations. Default value is log. Otherwise you can name it whatever you want. If there is a name conflict with a field in the class then a compile error occurs.
