Oh well, if it cannot be helped there is an area I will have to butt heads in 
code reviews...

I hope you will not find it too impolite, but this feels like a more dogmatic 
decision than I would like. I agree that macro's do not feel pure, but they 
allow you to adapt to some of the ugliness of real world use cases (the fact 
that Swift forces people to write a lot of boilerplate or to give up on this 
pushes people that support iOS9 and want to go full Swift to drop the idea of 
using os_log... do we rather have that than compromise slightly on purity 
perhaps?). Sorry for the long aside, but maybe shedding all the C part of 
Objective-C did hurt a bit the ease of adaptation. 

Very few people can go iOS 10+ only and I do find a lot of great value in the 
new logging system and Objective-C allows me to use it a lot sooner thanks to 
macro support.
