A full generalization of that would allow, for example, logging.debug to not evaluate its args unless debugging is turned on (I use a logging.debug wrapper that allows lambdas as args, and evaluates them if debugging is turned on).

Interestingly enough, at Facebook we found out that using f-strings is *faster* at runtime than the lazy form of logging.log("format with %s and %d", arg1, arg2), including for cases when the log message is not emitted.
