The only way I can measure cost is in runtime performance,

overhead, and (and this is the punch line) the translation team, who
actually have a MUCH LARGER stake in this than any of us. And I think
we hit it out of the park in all three areas.
I'll give you grand slams on performance and the translation team. I'd
give you a sac fly for development overhead, since creating an interface
to log an info message is far more cumbersome than calling an info()
function, imho.
But hey, you still got the runner home, and kudos to you for balancing
all those forces optimally (it's a thankless job), but saying it isn't
more cumbersome doesn't make it less cumbersome.
