use instance-name for syslog?

Hello,

When running multiple instances of dovecot on the same host (or running multiple docker container),
it is hard to distinguish logs from different processes: the syslog entries are all prefixed with the same identifier "dovecot"
It is hardcoded here:
https://github.com/dovecot/core/blob/master/src/lib-master/master-service.c#L420

Would it make sense to use the already implemented instance-name as syslog ident?
How do others solve that problem?

Andreas
