We have the debug log level, but consider the case when an operator has
a non-deterministic or rare crash that isn't reproducible because the
operator has no information about what caused it. All we have is the
config, log that was already generated before the crash and perhaps a
backtrace and core to deduce the steps leading to the crash. It's not
possible to re-run that scenario with debug logging.

I'll create a ticket to put the client pointer at the end if that'll
help, but note that the syntax in 9.10 was not consistent either. 9.10
would log the client pointer when the client object didn't have a valid
peer.
