Expose formatter to public or protected in CommonWriter

open class CommonWriter(private val messageStringFormatter: MessageStringFormatter = DefaultFormatter) : LogWriter() {

At now CommonWriter's formatter is private, which make it impossible to use custom formatter when inheriting writer. See below

class MyWriter() : CommonWriter(MyFormatter()) {
    override fun log(severity: Severity, message: String, tag: String, throwable: Throwable?) =
        // Cannot access 'messageStringFormatter': it is invisible (private in a supertype)
        Mylog.log(messageStringFormatter.formatMessage(severity, Tag(tag), Message(message)))
}

It's possible to customize Message Formatting. Did you check out this docs? https://kermit.touchlab.co/docs/configuration/MESSAGE_FORMATTING

Yes, I know the current way to customize log writer. And I also successfully implement my own writer.
But if we implement a class to inherit CommonWriter, providing customization by overriding base log method seems to be pointless. Because the inheritor cannot access the formatter.
