Meh. Those aren't default log output targets, so I don't think the
default prefix needs to cater for them. People who adjust one setting
can adjust the other too.
There would be some value in the complexity you're thinking of for
installations that log to multiple targets concurrently, but really,
who does that? Most production installations already begrudge
the I/O volume for a single log target.
