I'm a bit wary of doing it from a layering perspective. This is a low-level function used by hardening, and having its implementation use hardened classes that might theoretically try to call it again seems a bit off. While we could make sure that we don't use any parts of `string_view` that are hardened, I'd still prefer the logging function to operate on a level "below" hardening, so to speak.
