If I were coding it, I would allow only exactly 1 digit (%.Nt) to simplify
the parsing side of things and bound the required buffer size. Without
having written it, it's not clear to me whether further restricting the
set of supported values would save much code. I will point out, though,
that throwing an error during log_line_prefix processing will lead
straight to infinite recursion.
