A flag for replacing matched text with human-readable words?

It is useful enough to have color-coding on top of otherwise unmodified logs (paths and urls, for instance), but I wonder if there's an even better way to render certain log data (UUIDs and other not-intended-for-human-reading things). I'm thinking it would be useful to generate 3 or 4 random words (based on the hash, like colors are now) from the system dictionary, and substitute them in place of the matched text.

What I'm hoping is that it becomes easier to recognize and refer to correct-horse-battery-staple than a colored f47ac10b-58cc-4372-a567-0e02b2c3d479.
