I've done something similar for C++ iostreams many moons ago.  The
idea was to prepend all lines written to std::log with timestamp and
other information.   It worked reasonably well, but involved a lot of
C++ hackery at the time.   I think this is a great idea and would
allow existing libraries that use sys.stderr for messages start using
say the root logger instead when user redefines sys.stderr.
