If __FILE__ and __LINE__ are template arguments to a logging function rather 
than function arguments (and you can't make __FILE__ and __LINE__ default 
function arguments if the function is variadic as it would have to be to 
support format strings), then you get a new template instantation every single 
time that you call the function, unless you call it more than once on the same 
line (which you're unlikely to ever do).

I want to think that there's a way to handle this if you get clever, but I 
can't think of a clever way to get around the problem at the moment.
