[New-bugs-announce] [issue28443] Logger methods never use kwargs

[Jordan Brennan]

New submission from Jordan Brennan:

The methods on the Logger class e.g. logger.debug all accept **kwargs, these are passed to the _log method but they are never used.

If _log attached them as an attribute to the LogRecord object, it would allow for creation of more powerful Filter objects to be created.

You would then be able to filter log lines based on arbitrary keyword arguments.

I've attached a patch along with tests that I think would be a sensible addition and I think that this shouldn't impact existing users of the module.
