I've actually thought about doing this. You would most likely want to extend Writer in some way. The problem is how to decide when to actually log the data written to the Writer, and how should that data be split. The problem is that Writer's base unit of work is the byte, but logging uses Strings. So you run into the dilemma of converting an array of bytes into a String, and determining when to invoke the log on that String. This is all perfectly doable, but you run into a few sticky issues.
