Performing line wrapping inside the logging backend seems like a good thi=

Zope has some LOG calls which include \n and \t in the message string, to=

manually line wrap. This means you get line wrapping even in logging back=

where it is not wanted, such as syslog.

Can we now consider removing the \n and \t from those format strings?
