These points, at least the first, suggest to me it should be an optional
feature. But regarding bulkier logs, FWIW, I would gladly trade the
time/hassle of correlating visually correlating log entries for
additional disk space. Time is far more expensive than disk space.
Regarding fixed width problems, not sure why fixed-width columns would be
a requirement. I'll assume it is some unusual internal pg formatting
constraint. Apache and others obviously handle variable width logging...
