	/// The MDC class is similar to the <see cref="NDC"/> class except that it is
	/// based on a map instead of a stack. It provides <i>mapped
	/// diagnostic contexts</i>. A <i>Mapped Diagnostic Context</i>, or
	/// MDC in short, 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>

	/// The MDC is managed on a per thread basis.
