Anyone with experience extending the "syslog" table?

According to this guide, we're allowed to extend the syslog table and it doesn't count as a custom table:

Has anyone actually done it before? I am curious if the extended records get archived in the same patterns as the normal records in the syslog table.

I am wanting to extend it in order to keep a record of point transactions. The syslog table has most of the fields I would already need, with a few exceptions.

syslog is always growing table and you should not be needing to extend it.

why do you want to extend syslog table?

I was considering using it to record transactions, as it's listed in this document as a table that can be extended up to 1,000 times:

It struck me as the most curious in there, as my first thought too was that it's already a giant table.
