Description

I'm not sure when this changed but it doesn't look like I can call ofLog() like this anymore
ofLog() << "Some stuff";
This doesn't compile either
ofLog(ofLogLevel::OF_LOG_NOTICE) << "Log me.";

Whenever I do I get an error about ofLog::padding not being defined. It's a static variable and I don't see a way to initialize it before the operator<< without making a ton of changes. Has the old logging functionality been changed or removed?

Research direction

Start by tracing the ofLog() entry points and the operator<< overloads mentioned in the report, then inspect how ofLog::padding is declared and initialized. Confirm whether the legacy streaming forms compile and determine whether the intended done state is restored compatibility or a documented API change.
