Luca is working PR 62102 which has to do with "syslog:...:...", but that unveiled an inconsistency between core.c and log.c. Before his proposed patch in STATUS, core.c is doing a strcmp() for "syslog" whereas log.c is doing strncasecmp(). We have been discussing standardizing both on strn?cmp(), but that would potentially lead to "breaking" configs that use "SYSLOG" rather than "syslog".
