Detailed Description

RootLogger sits at the top of the logger hierachy.

It is a regular logger except that it provides several guarantees.

First, it cannot be assigned a NOT_SET_LOG_LEVEL LogLevel. Second, since root logger cannot have a parent, the getChainedLogLevel method always returns the value of the ll field without walking the hierarchy.
