Yeah, I agree that it should behave the same.  Was just also trying to reframe 
the problem to give ideas for solutions that give back old semantics (i.e. via 
script-level mechanisms).  No big deal, since there’s no demand for it.

It was actually always confusing to me that a remote log entry versus a local 
log entry would be processed differently regarding the log_* events.  The event 
is a property of the Log::Stream definition and the logging API or docs don’t 
distinguish between outgoing versus incoming log entries there, or do they?  Or 
is a Stream meant to be thought of from only the perspective of an outgoing 
sequence of log entries?

Could be I misunderstood the log framework the whole time, and that’s why 
broker behaved the way it did :)
