I didn't know logfmt had variation. Do you have a case of
incompatibility ?

Anyway, I think that logfmt will be better handled inside Postgres
rather than in an extension due to limitation in syslogger
extendability. I could send a patch if more people are interested in
this.


What do you think about application_context as a way to render e.g. a
web request UUID to all backend log messages ?
