I find myself quite often writing multiple `logger.whatever()` statements
one after another just because I want to log multiple values.
{{{
logger.error("Foo failed. The bar object looked like")
logger.error(bar_object) # bar_object is a deep json-like object
logger.error(f"Retrying with {xyz} thing")
}}}
It would be nice if Django provided a way to log all values passed to
`extra`, like this:
{{{
logger.error(f"Foo failed. The bar object looked like this. Retrying with
{xyz} thing", extra={
"bar_object": bar_object
})
}}}
I'm aware that I can create a custom logger inheriting from
`logging.Handler` (or the several other ways this can be achieved), but
IMHO this is such a basic feature that it should be included in Django
itself.
