I think it makes a lot of sense for these methods to be available for the text_multifile_backend as they are for the text_file_backend. My use case is that I am logging data out in html format and being able to log data out as individual html files for browsing through later on. Being able to have an html header and footer added as files are opened and closed makes a lot of sense for this backend.
Actually I spent some time looking at the implmentation of this and there doesn't seem to be a sensible way to implement this. I think what I really want is some sort of 'id' based file rotation. In that light I suppose I could use the time_based_rotation and supply my own function that rotates based on a changing 'id'. Perhaps this could be generalised in the library to be a 'triggered_rotation' where some of the current implementations happen to be time based? Jamie
