Yep, 100% agreed.

Agreed, but I don't think it does, so I think we just need to redefine the 
constants behind the scenes, so that we can implement the inc_level/dec_level 
methods of the Level (!) class as proposed by Erik. These constants should be 
invisible to the Log::Log4perl user, of course. 

I also don't like introducing non-log4j-compatible levels, if we want that, 
we should provide user-defined Level classes just like log4j does. 
inc_level/dec_level would have to cope with those. I personally haven't felt 
a need for more levels (yet), but hey, if log4j provides it, why not. But 
again, we want to be compliant with log4j, for all the reasons Kevin 
mentioned earlier.
