[boost] Passing around log levels

Is there a way to pass log levels in a variable? The following code 
doesn't compile:

void SomeClass::Dump(boost::logging::level_type eLevel,
                     boost::logging::logger& rLog)
{
        BOOST_SCOPEDLOGL(rLog, eLevel)
                        << "Some Msg" << m_iSomeMemberVariable << endl;
}

Compiler says: "error C2039: 'eLevel' : is not a member of 
'boost::logging::level'"

I think the issue is that the levels are all const ints.

This is kind of important in our application. We have lots of code that 
knows nothing about the environment, either the logs or the levels, and 
needs to be compiled into different places, so it can't have the log or 
the log level compiled in. I suppose we could change this code to return 
a string and do the actual logging where the level and log are known at 
compile time. But that would rule out "structural" drop in replacement. 
So far no problems passing the log itself around, but haven't tested 
extensively.

Thanks,
