ServiceStack structured logging

How can I get structured logging when using e.g. Serilog with Servicestack?

The examples from both Serilog and NLog have the form Log.Information("Hello World from {FirstName}", "Thomas"); for which I cannot find a matching method signature in ServiceStack.

See logging docs for enhanced Serilog Logging APIs whilst this existing StackOverflow answer shows a Serilog Enrichers example.

SerilogLoggerTests.cs shows different examples of using Serilog:

var log = new SerilogLogger(GetType());

const string message = "Error Message";
const string messageFormat = "Message Format: message: {0}, exception: {1}";

var ex = new Exception();
log.Info(message);
log.Info(message, ex);
log.InfoFormat(messageFormat, message, ex.Message);
log.Info(ex, messageFormat, messageFormat, ex);

and a Log Context example with custom properties: 

var log = new SerilogLogger(new LoggerConfiguration()
    .WriteTo.Sink(sink).CreateLogger());

var messageTemplate = "Testing adding {prop2} props";
log.ForContext("prop", "value").InfoFormat(messageTemplate, "awesome");

There's also PushProperty() APIs to assign custom properties, see Serilog's Enrichment docs for examples.
