+        levels, in order of increasing verbosity (names on the same
+        line are equivalent):

+
+        The special name "notset", or the numeric value 0, indicates
+        that the setting for the parent logger should be used.
+
+        It is strongly recommended that names be used rather than
+        numeric values to ensure that configuration files can be
+        deciphered more easily.
