Binlogs should only log invariant data, not culture-specific data

[baronfel]

Summary

Binlogs are intended to be machine-readable, so they should use a single, unified output format for strings and data.

Background and Motivation

Ease of tooling implementation.

Proposed Feature

This one might be a bit hairy - it probably means that log messages directly shouldn't include rendered strings, and instead should be able to be 'projected' into their rendered forms upon processing of the message.

Alternative Designs

log messages directly shouldn't include rendered strings, and instead should be able to be 'projected' into their rendered forms upon processing of the message.

This is a worthy goal IMO, and should be able to reduce binlog size by serializing format strings exactly once and getting higher deduplication rates on the arguments.

But it's complicated for users and for us by the amount of things where we aren't logging structured objects but computed strings :(
