Description
Lookups in messages are confusing, and muddy the line between logging APIs and implementation. Given a particular API, there's an expectation that a particular shape of call will result in specific results. However, lookups in messages can be passed into JUL and will result in resolved output in log4j formatted output, but not any other implementations despite no direct dependency on those implementations.
There's also a cost to searching formatted message strings for particular escape sequences which define lookups. This feature is not used as far as we've been able to tell searching github and stackoverflow, so it's unnecessary for every log event in every application to burn several cpu cycles searching for the value.
