Lazy message evaluation all the way

[consp1racy]

Oh hey, it's been there for half a year!

https://github.com/JakeWharton/timber/blob/6f7ecafd5f9d410106dcd02b2373b40cfb9e6809/common/src/main/kotlin/timber/log/Timber.kt#L79

If this works, with static imports the new multiplatform Timber renders TimberKt obsolete. Well, mostly (w vs. warn). Or import aliasing. This is interesting.

I agree that more lazyness would be great.

Timberkt actually used to do something like your solution 1, but I changed it in version 1.2.0. The reason why is that the noinline wrapper cause a new class to be created for each log call, which adds a lot of methods.

I also thought about your second solution, but then this library wouldn't be compatible with existing code bases that use regular timber, so I don't want to do that either.

Maybe the right solution would be to make a PR to upstream timber to allow this sort of lazyness with inline methods.

I've been using this library for many years now thinking that messages are being evaluated lazily ... just to read now that it's not the case 😆
