#9482: Include dates in logs

 When a conversation or chat is open across one or more date boundaries,
 the log file becomes hard to use, because one can no longer easily tell
 which date the logged time refers to. For example, I frequently leave IRC
 chats, and even some IM conversations, open for days or weeks at a time,
 and the only date stored in my logs is the date that the conversation/chat
 was originally opened.

 While possible to put the date on every line next to the time, I think it
 would be preferable to show the current date every time a new entry is
 from a different day than the previous entry. Or perhaps it might be more
 simple to output the current date to every open log file at midnight each
 day. That would accomplish roughly the same thing, the only difference
 being that it would show a date in the log even if there was no activity
 during that day.
