Thanks---this is useful and we should merge, but I just asked for a little doc and simplification in calling.

[bob-carpenter]

Given that this hard codes the "info" level, it'd be nice if that's in its name, as in log_info_if_nonempty.

[bob-carpenter]

If you could also add function doc, that'd be helpful.

[bob-carpenter]

If you reorder the two functions, this can be reduced to
log_if_nonempty(logger, msg.str()).

I also think the variable should be called logger rather than log.

[bob-carpenter]

There may also be a lot more places this comes up in the code, but I'm not sure. I'm happy to take just this many fixes.
