Sometimes you want to re-create a Logger you've already created exactly, only with a different name. The issue is you

cannot change the name on a logger
cannot get all the handlers currently associated with the logger (without popping them all off one by one and causing side effects)

The only way around this is evil code that pops everything off and stores it, and pops everything on, or stores handlers in another location in the app every time (which in large apps is obnoxious, especially when your handler sets can be quite disparate or controlled entirely by environment)

Can we possibly get a "getHandlers()" method that just returns the contents of the protected $handlers array? corollary, getProcessors() would be great as well

$copied_logger = new Logger('newname', $old->getHandlers(), $old->getProcessors());

would make my life 200% better ;)
