Rather than having an LC property, you could just use whatever was in
front of the $LogN$

Thus, for C/C++/Java/etc programs, you might do:

/*
  $Log5$
*/

or

// $Log5$

For Shell scripts, you might do:

# $Log5$

and for Windows Batch files, you might do:

REM $Log5$

The rest stays the same...

Just my $0.02.
