Logging exceptions with ExceptionTelemetry

[henkmollema]

When you log an error with an exception through the ILogger interface like this:

logger.Log(LogLevel.Error, 0, state, exception, messageFormatter);

it will use a TraceTelemetry instance.

Is it possible to use an ExceptionTelemetry instance in the case where an exception is present? Exception telemetries provide a nicer experience in UI's such as Visual Studio and the Azure portal.

This new behavior actually makes less sense if someone uses a global exception filter where all exceptions are tracked in a unified way.
With this new version, I get two exception telemetries (one at the LogError and one in my global exception filter. Of course, in the model I am using (using a global exception filter), I can change my .TrackException() into .LogError()...
I would have considered this as a bigger change than what makes into a .1 upgrade...
