In particular, we'd like to know whether the approach I've taken (i.e., using lager's error_logger redirection) provides *enough* functionality for our users and/or what additional features you'd like to see. Getting decent feedback is a prerequisite to getting these changes integrated into rabbit in a permanent and supported manner, so please don't be shy!
