Remarks

The works very similar to the LevelMatchFilter. It admits two options LoggerToMatch and AcceptOnMatch. If the LoggerName of the LoggingEvent starts with the value of the LoggerToMatch option, then the Decide(LoggingEvent) method returns Accept in case the AcceptOnMatch option value is set to true, if it is false then Deny is returned.
