I think that would be an easy fix. Another possibility is to allow double-quotes around strings in the config. If the first and last character of the string was ", they would be removed. The default value for logging_prefix would simply be "". If someone is already using quoted strings in userDescription, productDescription or revisionData, they would have to have an extra pair of quotes around them.
