Since the "sql" format doesn't make any sense for syslog or eventlog
output, I tend to agree that treating it as a destination is a
reasonable answer. It's going to be a bit non-orthogonal no matter
which way we jump, but this seems like the most natural and useful
extension from where we are. To me anyway ... YMMV ...
