I don't quite understand.
This is something which is needed now. When you use a streaming appender
(Console, any File or Socket with protocol=tcp/ssl), the layout needs to
provide some way to delimit log events.

I'm not a fan of the null termination as it is. Do you know how many
millions or billions of dollars have been wasted due to buggy C and C++

Having some way to delimit log events could be handy later on for
garbage-free networked streaming appenders that want to break up log events
into individual messages as opposed to how the file-type streaming
appenders work.

Now JsonLayout, XmlLayout, YamlLayout and GelfLayout has an
includeNullDelimiter option to terminate each log event with a 0-byte.
Would it be useful to have the same in any other layout?
I could think of HtmlLayout, SyslogLayout and RFC5424Layout.
