Makes sense ... I've chosen a slightly less-intrusive approach,
here's the new docs:

=head2 Modify appender thresholds

To conveniently adjust appender thresholds (e.g. because a script
uses more_logging()), use

       # decrease thresholds of all appenders
    Log::Log4perl->appender_thresholds_adjust(-1);

This will decrease the thresholds of all appenders in the system by
one level, i.e. WARN becomes INFO, INFO becomes DEBUG, etc. To only modify
selected ones, use

       # decrease thresholds of all appenders
    Log::Log4perl->appender_thresholds_adjust(-1, ['AppName1', ...]);

and pass the names of affected appenders in a ref to an array.
