            This way you will not incur the cost of parameter
            construction if debugging is disabled for <span class="code">log</span>. On
            the other hand, if the <span class="code">log</span> is debug enabled, you
            will incur the cost of evaluating whether the logger is debug
            enabled twice. Once in <span class="code">IsDebugEnabled</span> and once in
            the <span class="code">Debug</span>.  This is an insignificant overhead
            since evaluating a logger takes about 1% of the time it
            takes to actually log.
