Nobody has ever wanted one before! However, inventing a variable isn't
straightforward, because logs can be directed both to files and to
syslog, and the setting of the log_file_path option controls both. The
actual file name can also be varied. Exim doesn't figure out a path name
for the file until it has to open it.

So this is not at all straight-forward, I'm afraid.
A better approach might be to make the log_write() function available to
embedded Perl calls, like expand_string() already is.
Aha! I see that this is already on the Wish List, in the section
entitled "Things that didn't make it into Exim 4"...
