To be honest, I've never used Chainsaw. However, my understanding is that
Lillith (for Logback) is similar to it. I don't know how Lillith handles
that but since it is a separate project from Logback I know that isn't
included in the logging event, which makes me wonder how they are handling
that - or if it does.
