I should add that my implementation depended on the fact that the set of 
enabled tags was constant for each run. I was storing the result of tag 
lookup in a static bool local to each log-message statement.

For dynamic log configuration, I think I'd either have to capture a 
pointer to a heap bool, whose value might change, or introduce some sort 
of model/view paradigm to ensure that individual log-message statements 
would respond to a change intended to affect them.
