> I propose that we change {{Message.getFormattedMessage()}} to return a {{CharSequence}} instead of a String.
> I believe this change would be backwards compatible (all Message implementations that return a String will work as is), and it opens the way
> for zero-GC Message implementations to return a cached StringBuilder as Mikael [suggested on the log4j-dev mailing list|http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/logging-log4j-dev/201603.mbox/%3CCAAFrFhSs4EqjOERwHObKAZP4wjGWeiCET1nyE1FVndYdePk2yw%40mail.gmail.com%3E].
