Hence the idea of adding the category to the new QMessageLogContext class
(see global/qlogging.h).

Yes. I don't mind multiple "outputs", I just want a single "input", i.e. that 
the code uses qDebug() / qDebug(AREA) no matter what output (message handler) 
is being used.

Yes, all that can be done by the QLog code, triggered by the qt message 
handler which would provide it the info it needs.
