Description
Currently there is no consistency in whether engines/plugins write a note about their start in the error log or not.
InnoDB does it nicely (although it writes a lot of other stuff as well):

But others aren't so open about it. It becomes a major inconvenience when we investigate problems reported by users, because sometimes it's impossible to guess which plugins or engines were running at the time of failure; especially so if they were installed dynamically, so there is no sign of them in the cnf files (or if they were removed/commented out from cnf files since then).
