This annotation is associated with a class that has a logger.
It contains a name property of the logger name. e.g. a class
whose logger can be initialized by --log:fields, should be
annotated @Logger(name="fields"). Multiple classes can have
the same annotation, which will make them use the same logger
object. Usually a class with this annotation is also a Loggable,
but it is not a hard demand
