Description

<appendToFile value="true" />
<maximumFileSize value="4MB" />
<maxSizeRollBackups value="-1" />
<rollingStyle value="Composite" />
<countDirection value="1" />
<staticLogFileName value="false" />

<datePattern value="'Abc-'yyyyMMdd'.log'" />
<preserveLogFileNameExtension value="true" />

My log4net config as below, and I find some question should be enhancement.

1. If  my datePatten Set Abc (1 capital letter), Log4net core may course override log file.
   Some user has same question(https://blog.gss.com.tw/index.php/2017/11/11/log4net/)
2.  If the preserveLogFileNameExtension = true, when the Log create to 11th, it will override first file.
   (Example:Abc-20180820.0.log、20180820.1.log.....20180820.10.log、20180820.11.log..then  the log will override 20180820.1.log again..)
