lots of systems still rely heavily on syslog, it'd be really good for there to be a syslog aware handler. some features I'd like to see in a hypothetical handler:

• automatically sends the correct log level
• lets you specify the syslog facility and app name
• defaults to a local socket connection, with a fallback to 127.0.0.1, but allows specifying a remote server
• understands not to break log output across multiple lines, defaults to escaping newline characters in output
