[Kea-users] Including the client-provided hostname in log output

Hello,

I am new to Kea, so maybe this is a very silly question. However, I 
could not find out about my question in the [logging 
docs](https://kea.readthedocs.io/en/stable/arm/logging.html).

DHCP requests can include the client hostname (option 12), e.g.:

```
Hostname (12), length 9: "tas-a1t-5"
```

Is it possible to echo this in log messages? I am personally better at 
parsing these names than MAC addresses ;)

Thanks,
