Er, cute :-) Looking at the code, it would appear that that isn't
possible :-(.
Would a separate ``set serial log {enable,disable}'' be better?
BTW, the existing mechanism has other problems. If there are two
streams active they both get logged when most likely you didn't want
that. (The trace mechanism is similar).
Feel free to work on this.
