We do not pay attention to SO, and it is good you came here.

I think something along this line was raised as a possible
enhancement on the list earlier.  If we were to do so, we should not
limit the enhancement only to "log/show" but to all the commands in
the "log" family, and similarly, not only to "format", but to many
common options.

Patches welcome.

Thanks.
