            Shutting down a hierarchy will <i>safely</i> close and remove
            all appenders in all loggers including the root logger.
            </p><p>
            Some appenders need to be closed before the
            application exists. Otherwise, pending logging events might be
            lost.
            </p><p>
            The <span class="code">Shutdown</span> method is careful to close nested
            appenders before closing regular appenders. This is allows
            configurations where a regular appender is attached to a logger
            and again to a nested appender.
