> Provide logging methods with only a Throwable object as a single parameter:
> info(Throwable e)
> error(Throwable e)
> ...
> The throwable object contains a message itself and a stacktrace. So most of the times its pointless to log additional message. So in order to log them now you have to log an empty message and the throwable object
> logger.error("", e);
> Which is obviously ugly and pointless when there is no reason not to have method like:
> logger.error(e);
