Tracerbullet

One feature I’ve missed in logging packages is a way to turn on debug logging for one HTTP request at a time by use of a HTTP header. If this is passed on to any other HTTP services called, like in a micro-services architecture, we can get a cheap trace. The other requests will still log at the default (non-debug) level. I’ve written an extension for slog called tracerbullet that does exactly that.
