for background for others, we decided on just doing isVerbose() (instead of isWarning, isError, etc, or some other getLevel()/isLevel(levelStr)/whatever API) for now since that's the only real need we've had so far and so reimplementing/exposing the log level hierarchy would be more work for no benefit today.

We can always revisit when someone actually needs logger.isError() :)

Opinions on the specific choice we made are welcome, of course :)
