	/// The <c>ThreadContext</c> provides a location for thread specific debugging 
	/// information to be stored.
	/// The <c>ThreadContext</c> properties override any <see cref="GlobalContext"/>
	/// properties with the same name.
	/// </para>
	/// <para>
	/// The thread context has a properties map and a stack.
	/// The properties and stack can 
	/// be included in the output of log messages. The <see cref="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout"/>
	/// supports selecting and outputting these properties.
	/// </para>
	/// <para>
	/// The Thread Context provides a diagnostic context for the current thread. 
	/// This is an instrument for distinguishing interleaved log
	/// output from different sources. Log output is typically interleaved
	/// when a server handles multiple clients near-simultaneously.
	/// </para>
	/// <para>
	/// The Thread Context is managed on a per thread basis.
	/// </para>
	/// </remarks>
	/// <example>Example of using the thread context properties to store a username.
	/// <code lang="C#">
	/// ThreadContext.Properties["user"] = userName;
	///	log.Info("This log message has a ThreadContext Property called 'user'");
	/// </code>

	/// <example>Example of how to push a message into the context stack
	/// <code lang="C#">

	///		log.Info("This log message has a ThreadContext Stack message that includes 'my context message'");
