Most people (I suspect) don't need that fine control over logging output
such as this, and every config option I add creates more overhead. So if
it's a line that is likely to get called a lot, I like to keep it as simple
as possible.

But mostly, I was feeling lazy and didn't want to write the docs etc that
are needed for another config option.
Maybe I'll rethink now I'm not in the office (v. hectic there).
