/** \name Logging
    \anchor log
    \imp provides tools for controlling the amount of log output produced
    and directing it to the terminal or a file. Only log messages tagged
    with a lower level than the current LogLevel are emitted. In addition
    to a global log level (get_log_level(), set_log_level()), each
    IMP::Object has an internal log level (IMP::Object::get_log_level(),
    IMP::Object::set_log_level()) which is used when executing code on
    that object.

    Logging is provided by IMP/base/log.h.

    People implementing IMP::Object classes should also see IMP_OBJECT_LOG()
    and IMP::SetLogState.

    All logging is disabled when \imp is built using \c build='fast'.
