+Logging hooks do not allow you to alter log message content, but they do
+give you a place to perform extra actions. For example, if you want to send
+an email for error messages, but you don't want to use a heavier logger
+such as L<Log::Any> or L<Log::Log4perl>:

+    hook 'engine.logger.after' => sub {
