Did anybody of you look at how Solaris TNF framework or DTrace framework
are implemented?  A lot can be accomplished by tricks at link stage, and
DTrace  with UDT provider offers even more (selective filtering and data
aggregation at run-time) than I could ask of any logging library.  And
that at a negligible cost for disabled log points.

[No, I'm not proposing to reimplement all of DTrace.  But what you're
describing already exists, so it might be worth looking into how these
things are implemented.  Or, if nothing else, write a logging back-end
for DTrace and/or TNF.]
