[nlog4j] Format string and arguments
As I transition one of my projects to SLF4J/NLog4J, I like the format/arguments capability. However, rather than allow for one or two argument values, now about having an overload that accepts an array of arguments. This way a java5 layer can be added that supports varargs.
In any case, I often require more than two arguments in log messages, which makes the format capability unusable in those cases. An array of args would resolve that.

Are you sure that you meant to post this to log4j-user? Seems more
appropriate for slf4j-user (http://www.slf4j.org/mailing-lists.html).
org.slf4j.ULogger.debug(String format, Object arg1) could take an
array as its second argument. Currently I think it would just have
toString called on which could flatten it out to a string. The
format specification could be expanded so you could address
individual elements in the array, but I do not believe there has been
any work on that. Again you are likely to get better advice on slf4j
at slf4j-user.
