I started trying to hack about the syslog sink to directly generate and
send an RFC3164 message. I'm not quite sure how one should use the
formatters and/or how to do a suitably general mapping of attributes to
RFC3164 message fields. I need to do something like this:

ostringstream ss;
ss << "<" facility * 8 + level << ">" << fmt::date_time< types
>("DateTime", fmt::keywords::format = "%b %d %H:%M:%S")) << " " <<
host_name << " " << program_name << ": " << formatted_message;
std::string s = ss.str();
send(sock, s.c_str(), s.size());

Suggestions?
