Description

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

 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.");
     }
 }

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.
