/**
  Interface used to listen for Logger related events such as
  add/remove appender or changing levels.  Clients register an instance of
  the interface and the instance is called back when the various events occur.

  LoggerRepository provides methods for adding and removing
  LoggerEventListener instances.

  When implementing the methods of this interface, it is useful to remember
  that the Logger can access the repository using its getRepository()
  method.
