[syslog-ng] bugreport for 1.9.5 on solaris

I feel a bit stupid, but what exactly does this do? Reading the docs it 
says:

"A regexp which matches hostnames which should not be taken as such."

Reading the NEWS entry of 1.6.8, I learn:

      * Added bad_hostname() feature where the administrator can specify
        a regular expression to match bad hostnames, works around bad
        programs such as ctld which uses a space within its program name.

When skimming through the old code I extract that the regexp will be 
applied to all hostnames matching in a log message. Dumb question: 
what's the use case of this and why isn't there a general regexp function?
