title: Is it possible to wildcard logger names in log4net configuration?
body: <p>In my application, I use log4net, with all types creating their own logger based on their type - e.g. :</p>
  
  <pre><code>private static readonly ILog Log = LogManager.GetLogger(typeof(Program));
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>As I am developing, I leave the root logger on DEBUG so as to catch all log output from my code. </p>
  
  <p>However, a third party component also uses this same approach, but is generating 100s of log messages a second, none of which I am interested in.</p>
  
  <p>Is it possible to use some sort of wildcarding in the logger configuration, to force all their loggers to only log at WARN, e.g. :</p>
  
  <pre><code> &lt;logger name="com.thirdparty.*"&gt;
      &lt;level value="WARN"/&gt;
    &lt;/logger&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>[The exact example above, using a * doesn't work]</p>
