It might seem a minor point, but to me the ordering between info,
warning, and debug is the wrong way around. In fact, I would say that
debug should be the lowest level, followed by info, then warning.
Reason being I would only want to see debug messages when I actually
need to debug the program, but info messages and (more importantly)
warnings should be producable in production releases.
