Logger's sinks accessor

Hi,

I would like to know if it will be possible to add a kind of:

auto& LoggerBase::get_sinks()
{
    return sinks;
}

In the previous version of quill, If I remember correctly, we were able to create a root logger with multiple handlers, then when another logger was created, it "inherits" the handlers from the root logger.

I would like to be able to do something equivalent, like:

auto root_logger  = quill::Frontend::create_or_get_logger("root", {sink1, sink2});
...

// then maybe in another class / thread ... 
auto my_logger = quill::Frontend::create_or_get_logger("root", quill::Frontend::get_logger("root")->get_sinks());

What do you think about this point, maybe there is a better way to achieve this.

Regards,

Jol
