Description

[Question] - Recently we started using Timber in my company. There is a requirement where we need to filter the logs from our app and, so far, we were using ```Runtime.getRuntime().exec("logcat -d")``` to collect the logs. Is there a way to add a default TAG for all logs, i.e. concatenate the pkg on the class name for all classes so we could do this filter? The workaround I've found was to override ```getTag()``` and use a customTree. Is there a simpler way?

Research direction

Start at Timber's getTag() entry point and the customTree workaround described in the issue, then check how Android logcat receives tags. Done means a maintainer-approved, clearly scoped answer or change for applying a default package/class prefix to all logs.
