Not good. Some syslogs will replace the literal tab with a ^I.
Maybe it should be a bunch of spaces when using syslog.
It seems a good idea to me anyway.
How would it handle multiple fields? Say
LOG: blah blah
DETAIL: something
HINT: something else
Will it be
LOG: blah blah
DETAIL: something else
HINT: something else
?
