Right now, you can't. I originally had LOG next to INFO, and for server
it was INFO, then LOG, and for client, it was LOG, then INFO, but
someone suggested that LOG should be between ERROR and FATAL because
most people want LOG stuff before they want to see ERROR/WARNING/NOTICE
in the server logs.

If you would prefer LOG down near INFO in the server message levels,
please post the idea and let's get some more comments from folks.

We thought about going with a bitwise capability where you could turn on
different messages types independently, but the use of that with SET and
the confusion hardly seemed worth it.
