/**
 * The NDC class implements <i>nested diagnostic contexts</i> as
 * defined by Neil Harrison in the article "Patterns for Logging
 * Diagnostic Messages" part of the book "<i>Pattern Languages of
 * Program Design 3</i>" edited by Martin et al.
 *
 * <p>A Nested Diagnostic Context, or NDC in short, is an instrument
 * to distinguish interleaved log output from different sources. Log
 * output is typically interleaved when a server handles multiple
 * clients near-simultaneously.
 *
 * <p>Interleaved log output can still be meaningful if each log entry
 * from different contexts had a distinctive stamp. This is where NDCs
 * come into play.
 *
 * <p><i><b>Note that NDCs are managed on a per thread
 * basis</b></i>. NDC operations such as {@link push()}, {@link pop()}, 
 * {@link clear()}, {@link getDepth()} and {@link setMaxDepth()}
 * affect the NDC of the <i>current</i> thread only. NDCs of other
 * threads remain unaffected.
 *
 * <p>For example, a servlet can build a per client request NDC
 * consisting the clients host name and other information contained in
 * the the request. <i>Cookies</i> are another source of distinctive
 * information. To build an NDC one uses the {@link push()}
 * operation.</p>
 * 
 * Simply put,
 *
 * - Contexts can be nested.
 * - When entering a context, call 
 *	 <code>LoggerNDC::push()</code>
 *	 As a side effect, if there is no nested diagnostic context for the
 *	 current thread, this method will create it.
 * - When leaving a context, call 
 *	 <code>LoggerNDC::pop()</code>
 * - <b>When exiting a thread make sure to call {@link remove()}</b>
 *	 
 * <p>There is no penalty for forgetting to match each
 * <code>push</code> operation with a corresponding <code>pop</code>,
 * except the obvious mismatch between the real application context
 * and the context set in the NDC.</p>
 *
 * <p>If configured to do so, {@link LoggerPatternLayout} and {@link LoggerLayoutTTCC} 
 * instances automatically retrieve the nested diagnostic
 * context for the current thread without any user intervention.
 * Hence, even if a servlet is serving multiple clients
 * simultaneously, the logs emanating from the same code (belonging to
 * the same category) can still be distinguished because each client
 * request will have a different NDC tag.</p>
