Logging is currently a bit of a mess in IMP as it basically output
whatever I was last interested in looking at.
...and because I never look at the log output.
VERBOSE: each restraint/state should output enough information to
determine the flow through the code. For example, a restraint should
print out each term of its energy (so the energy for each pair of
particles for example).
TERSE: each restraint/state should print a constant number of lines
per evaluate call
Sounds fine to me (although the first sounds "very verbose" to me -
that's a huge amount of logging in some cases). Stick some description
along those lines into the documentation, and then we can try to follow
that convention in future.
