What changed?
I've changed some of the tags I altered in #7738 back to StringTags from StringerTags and added usage recommendations to the StringerTag (and StringersTag) methods.
Why?
@prathyushpv rightly pointed out that some of the tags I changed in #7738 are applied to the loggers themselves and not just the messages. This means that the
String()
method will be invoked every time a log is to be emitted. This incurs extra allocations etc. etc.
