If an exception is supplied it should be logged in a top-level field called "Exception".

I'm thinking we should have a custom exception json converter to store it as a complex object:

{
  "Exception": 
  {
    "Type": "NullReferenceException",
    "StackTrace": "<snip>",
    // other userful fields.
  }
}

As a user I would like to supply my own converters for converting specific classes into JSON.

The Log* (LogWarning, LogError, etc) family of methods should correctly log an appropriate "LogEvent" class.

Some thought should go into logging the Exception that is often passed into those methods - it should be broken down into a sensible JSON strucuture, with all the key fields, like Message, StackTrace, etc.

Currently we don't log the logger category, which is a fairly key bit of information!

It should be logged as a top-level field called "Category".
