*Use case*

I need to convert the log format that is used for `:console` to print in 
json format. (Because we use a docker syslog backend that forwards `stdout` 
to logstash). 

*Preferred Solution*

Ideally, I would give the `:console` backend a custom formatter via config. 
The custom formatter than just converts the metadata and message to a 
json string, which is printed by the default `console` backend. But right 
now the backend relies on `Logger.Formatter` exclusively. 

*Alternative*

Add a custom backend that in fact intercepts the log message and converts 
it to json and then forwards it to the `:console` backend. Drawback: one 
need to somehow start and wrap the `console` backend.
