But I checked the source code and it is not obvious

It seems the feature of the config table is there,

writers actually use it
Almost true. :) The (dummy) {{{None}}} write actually prints out the
values for debugging; they show up in the {{{WriterInfo::config}}
table, see {{{logging/writers/None.cc}}}, lines 24-25.
b) Do you have a naming scheme in mind on how to name
options and
values?
Not really (but I appreciate you asking!). As these are
writer-specific values, we don't need to standardize them much but
what you suggest sounds good: lower-cased with underscores, T/F for
boolean values.
Bernhard, please chime in if you have thoughts (he's using the
equivalent mechanism for Input Framework readers).
