>> Please review this PR which aims to optimize the implementation of the `toString` method we provide for records. A benchmark comparing the implementation we are providing for records with lombok found out that lombok is much faster mainly because our implementation uses `String::format`. This fix is basically delegating on StringConcatFactory::makeConcatWithConstants which is faster.
