Just a slightly different format that is directly digestible by another
system, while still preserving what the original messages in the file
would look like.

There are other ways to do it, but it's convenient. If we use, e.g.,
csv or json format, we lose the log_line_prefix and would need to
regenerate it from the individual fields.
