rewrite *before* log?

Is it possible to run a RewriteRule *before* the request is logged? For
example, if a request for http://example.com/ comes in, I want to
redirect to http://www.example.com/, and _not_ log the first hit.

There are ways you can suppress the logging. E.g. have the redirect
set an env variable, and use a CustomLog directive to log only if the
variable is not set.
