Please remember that any perl programmer is going to claim they can do just about anything the core implementation can do in mod_perl, so I don't see a reason to change that :) Even if we were to accomplish what you were trying to do, we would rather do so with a fixed opaque extent.

We don't "think like" apr in terms of transparency. The question we want to ask is, what fields of piped_log belong in a public API, if any. And if none, then let's move that out of the standard header.
