Believe that's what the 'off' level is for, though it is confusingly named
(off as in no filtering, not no logging).  Maybe better called 'always'?


I contend that having bare log methods without a specified level is a
mis-feature.  They may be useful as a shortcut when the desired level is
unknown/irrelevant, but I don't believe what they add is worth the bother.
