I'd argue that the first line of attack on that should be to explain to those consumers of logs that they are making
someunwarranted assumptions about the kind of inputs they'll be seeing. PostgreSQL's CSV log formats are not a
particularbizarre format, or very difficult to parse. The standard Python CSV library handles them just file, for
example. You have to handle newlines that are part of a log message somehow; a newline in a PostgreSQL query, for
example,needs to be emitted to the logs.
