Maybe that is not enough. maybe you want to do something with the log
message, not jast forward it.

I code daemons with epoll and code program with a lot of threading too.

Maybe there is someone outside the word who want to transform log
messages not just put it into a file. Even maybe rewrite it with regular
expression matching. And somebody maybe want this feature from the log
daemon too.
No I'm not suggesting that that the syslog daemon is the only place to
do this and I'm not saying that everyone need this feature. But this
feature _may_ be handsome for someone.
