It's a Lua only solution, using Lua I/O, so it's potentially blocking, I'm a
bit hesitant about that.
I could modify the socket backend to use copas (but that might harm logging
completeness in case of crashes as the actual logging will be postponed), or
implement a UDP socket (sending is non-blocking). The sockets still require
a receiving part though which also complicates things.

Has anybody done a non-blocking file logger?
