What is the expected behavior?

It would be nice if there were an "official" filesystem exporter for traces/logs/metrics in .NET. I find it useful for local debugging, as well as job-based workloads where the logs could be exported or further processed.

Which alternative solutions or features have you considered?

I've copy/pasted the implementation of the ConsoleExporter(s) and simply updated the WriteLine() method in the base class to write to a FileStream instead of the console.

This is fine for most cases, (aside from the annoyance of having to copy/paste/adapt), but it's obviously in a very human-readable format. It'd be nice if there were perhaps 2 official implementations or modes: One to output in a similar human-readable format, and one that's serialized for a more machine-readable format.

Once open-telemetry/opentelemetry-specification#4183 lands, this is doable.
