Well, for internal uses I already did this, of course. However, the Debug.Rapidlog module: - Allows for better testing which improves stability. - Is small. - Has no external dependencies. So, committing it to 8.0 would improve stability for 8.0, hence the suggestion to consider it for inclusion there. Then again, it's just a suggestion, I'll keep using a forked 8.0 for as long as I need to improve 8.0's stability (basically hunting for race conditions in Sql.pgsql and Stdio.Buffer; they happen once per 24 hours on average on a busy server). -- Stephen.
