However, there are some limitations due to the fact that logging is line-based while people may output arbitrary text on stderr (perhaps ASCII-formatted tables, who knows).

True, though the wrapper could easily buffer partial output internally to support line-based output formats. Actually the line-based nature is a function of the handler and/or formatter and just reflects what people tend to want most of the time.
