Describe the feature you'd like to add to nginx

Was wondering if there's any interest in adding millisecond precision to error log timestamps.

Currently they look like this: 2025/06/30 20:56:21 [notice] 1351397#0: using the "epoll" event method

But it would be nice to have:2025/06/30 20:56:21.123 [notice] 1351397#0: using the "epoll" event method

Describe the problem this feature solves

Just makes debugging and troubleshooting easier.
