The ROS logging macros suffer from all the dangers of printf. Modern logging systems like spdlog, address these issues, but we're stuck with the old style va-arg style printf method.

I spent yesterday sanitizing hundreds of incorrect ros logging statements, that had mismatches between the format specifier and the data provided.

I wonder if there's been any discuss about improving this, or are there alternatives?
