030/**
031 * An <b>optional</b> interface helping integration with logging systems capable of 
032 * extracting location information. This interface is mainly used by SLF4J bridges 
033 * such as jcl-over-slf4j, jul-to-slf4j and log4j-over-slf4j or {@link Logger} wrappers
034 * which need to provide hints so that the underlying logging system can extract
035 * the correct location information (method name, line number).
036 *
037 *  <p></p>
038 *
039 * <p>In response to <a href="https://jira.qos.ch/browse/SLF4J-118">SLF4J-118</a>,
040 * the {@link #log(Marker, String, int, String, Object[], Throwable) log()}  method was modified to accept
041 * an additional <code>Object[]</code> parameter.
042 * This Object[] represents arguments of the log request. Due to this modification, slf4j-api
043 * version 1.6.x no longer work with bindings shipping with SLF4J 1.5.x, instead
044 * bindings shipping with 1.6.x or later are required. See also
045 * <a href="https://github.com/qos-ch/slf4j/commit/6dd2bd58cff">commit 6dd2</a> dated
046 * April 9th, 2010.
