(Bedrock) [Scripting] Allow other processes to read the content log while the game is still running

I'd like to use the (server|client).log("message") functions to print out information that I can read while the game is playing using tail. This is impossible because the logs are opened exclusively, so any application opening the log gets "The process cannot access the file 'C:\Users\blah\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.MinecraftUWP_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\logs\ContentLog__Sunday__2020_January_26__19_44_06_1.txt' because it is being used by another process." until I completely close Minecraft.

IMO this significantly reduces the usefulness of the logging functions to the point that they're almost unusable.

Please consider opening the content log in such a manner that other processes can read it
