heh,
This thing was not intended for log viewer, but as debug and/or
  squid's admin's sound warning:
- If we change config and make error, then we don't see what is
wrong in case if
(a) we start squid in daemon mode (detach mode for me) i.e. without
stdout to console
(b) there is a lot of characters on console, so we can't select
fast what's wrong
(c) there is still no info in squid 2.5 in some cases for some
errors. I.e. right user's message for config's error should be like
("ERROR: Some trouble is %n line of config (%s)", nLine, strLine);
   (I have fogot about this in proposed additions)

In case of detach/daemon mode admin can't see , but still can hear
beeps. Why not use this ?
Beeps can be done via" \a " for unixes and xxxBeep(freq,
 duration) for some other systems, color output to console - via
standard ANSI sequences

Well , all stuff can be enabled/disabled in config.

The idea is that if we have "ERROR" or "WARNING" as first word in
message, than we can use color and/or beeps for this message, but
don't write this to logs.
The next idea is that "ERROR and "WARNING" is more noticeably than
"error" and "warning"
