Another option would be to make the current way of logging the default
but to let the user bypass and/or change this behaviour if he so
wishes.

For example by making LOG-MESSAGE a generic function.

Oh, wait, it /is/ already a generic function.  And the documentation
says:

  "LOG-MESSAGE is a generic function, so you can specialize it or
   bypass it completely with an around method."

Well... :)
