I hope I am not going to hijack the thread, but is there an option
to have the application's name and/or the application module's name in
the log? Especially required when using one and the same library
(Spring Framework for example) in multiple applications.
I also noted, that Thread Name is inconsistent, since many threads
with different ID have the same name, which is at least
counter-productive (small log excerpt):

Is it possible, that the Thread Name is generated, rather than
obtained from the Thread?
Or is it possible, that this information is obtained on the first
logging attempt (hence a Thread Name with low number), and then
somehow reused, instead of being obtained again?
