Description

I might be wrong, but the systemd example (added in #157) overloads RUST_LOG_STYLE. Since that is parsed internally by env_logger, I think the example is suboptimal; it would be better to control the systemd-vs-non-systemd and style separately, as long as systemd is not directly supported (which would be best, actually, as a new WriteStyle).

I might misunderstand the way the WriteStyle is supposed to work though, not sure.

Research direction

Start with the systemd example added in #157 and trace how env_logger parses RUST_LOG_STYLE and how WriteStyle is intended to work. Clarify whether the change should separate systemd selection from style or add direct systemd support through a new WriteStyle; done requires an agreed design and a corrected example.
