No, you have my concern right. I am unlikely to use such a feature and
want to be sure that the filter check is as quick as possible for the
kinds of things I am likely to use. In other words, my goal is as close
to zero overhead as possible if a message is not desired, but if I go in
and set the registry/config option to turn the log message on, then I
want to see it and at that point I don't care when the message is
formatted to it's final form. Are you envisioning keeping the message
as a tuple of data items and manipulators and then evaluating them as
late as possible?
