It is definitely an improvement, but I can't help but wonder, since we're going 
to be touching every GetLog line with this, if we couldn't go even further.

The various LLDB_LOG have helped a lot, but one of the things that still 
bothers me is the verbosity of the GetLog statements. 
`GetLogIfAllCategoriesSet(LIBLLDB_LOG_WHATEVER)` is long enough as it is, and 
this prepends `LLDBLog::` on top of that.

Here's a straw-man proposal to make that shorter (and safer). Instead of 
macros, we use (scoped) enums for denoting log categories. enums are not a 
preprocessor construct, so we can keep the identifiers relatively short. E.g. 
`LLDBLog::API` instead of `LLDB_LOG_API`. They also have types, which means we 
can use the compiler to check that the values are used appropriately. And 
thanks to that, we also don't need to have a long name for the log getter 
function. The logging could be as simple as

  Log *log = LogIfAny(LLDBLog::API); // Uses template magic to find the 
appropriate log class based on the type

If the name sounds too cryptic, we can also choose something longer like 
`GetLogIfAnySet` or variation thereof.

If you (all) think something like that would be useful, but don't have the time 
to do that, I can try to whip something up.
