Description

When using the XmlLayoutSchemaLog4j layout properties are logged on a per line basis. Most of the properties are common across all lines and it is inefficient to log a large amount of repetitive data.

Log4j resolves this issue with a 'Properties' flag used to indicate whether properties should be logged [1]. Log4net has no such property [2]. ...but it should.
