Those are already small functions AFAIK (I was speaking about 
symbol bloat, not code bloat). It does not help with compilation 
issue though - each logging call creates a totally new template 
instance which means allocating new object for DMD internal 
representation and running semantic phase for it. And mature 
applications can have thousands of logging calls. I have yet to 
run tests to see actual impact but it concerns me from the pure 
DMD internals point of view.
