Approach 1 includes extending the built-in text type (e.g. unicode),
which is not what was done in Havana, and is an alternative way of
addressing the logging issue.  In addition to fixing the logging
issue, extending the built-in text type would eliminate the need to
override a lot of the standard string-manipulation methods that are
being overridden in the current Message implementation.  I'm not sure
if that's what the term "magic" referred to in the meeting
discussion, but it's something that bothers me about the status quo.

Thanks for your reply,
