I think this is a perfectly good argument. Don't make writing the tools
to parse the log more difficult than necessary.
Rather than making the log files look nice, lets add a module to PgAdmin
that can read it and display it in a user friendly manner (with
abilities like sorting queries by execution time!).

Please don't. Or if you do, don't data unless you intend to escape
special characters (in this case \) at the same time so we can convert
it back to the original state.
