Ah, OK. Yes, you are probably correct. The default when *not* using stupid
log file is to not print INFO messages, however, which is what I wanted to
say.

No, it doesn't. STUPID_LOG_SEVERITY only affects STUPID_LOG_FILE.
However, I wasn't aware that you could set stupid_log_file to stdout, thanks
for that info:

Since this is possible, I suggest that todays default output of messages get
scrapped, and replaced by stupid_log_file, using stdoutput as default. This
basically solves the problem.

As an added neatness, I think some of the messages that today print out as
INFO really should be set to BLATHER. :-)
I just don't think this is particularily important information:
