# Suppose we don't like having 5 levels named DEBUG, INFO, etc.
# Suppose we'd rather use 3 levels named Foo, Bar, and Baz.
# Suppose we'd like to use these with syslog
# Log4r allows you to rename the levels and their corresponding methods
# in a painless way and then map those to corrisponding syslog levels
# or have them all default to LOG_INFO
# This file provides an example
