---------------------------------------------------------------

For Scala, the preferred approach to achieve this is to use string 
interpolation and macros.

That has already been done for SLF4J: 
https://github.com/typesafehub/scala-logging
and it would be easy to do the same for Log4j 2.

> It would be nice if we could support 0-param lambda functions (or the 
> equivalent: interfaces with a single empty-parameter message call), or more 
> simply, allow Runnables (or something similar) to be passed which will be 
> dynamically executed if the log message is enabled.
> The use case here is that although string construction of the log message is 
> a performance issue that is already solved quite well, the problem of adding 
> in information to the log message that makes other calculations still needs 
> to be wrapped in an if check.
> I'm not sure if it'd be best to just use Runnable, or create a new interface, 
> or try to emulate how Java 1.8 lambdas work via an interface with a single 
> method defined. The details here would still need to be fleshed out, but I 
> think this sort of feature could be rather handy (especially in a Java 1.8+ 
> environment, or in Groovy/Scala/etc.).
