Padding for log file rotation

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

Currently log file rotation is done by adding a simple index, e.g. mylog.txt will be "rotated" to mylog.txt.1 and so forth. In case of more than 9 rotations we will have a file with name mylog.txt.10 which, due to the filsystem's alphabetical ordering, gets listed right after mylog.txt.1 but before mylog.txt.2.

This might lead to the situation that one selects the wrong file as they are not ordered by time. Furthermore, it's harder to find the oldest genearation of the log file.

To solve this issue I propose to introduce a padding functionality in the way that the rotated log files would be named like mylog.txt.001, mylog.txt.002, ..., mylog.txt.010 and so forth. It would be nice to have a configurable padding in order that the default (0 i.e. no padding) would use the current pattern, but it would also allow to specify a number greater than zero.
