/// The general idea for the application-wide logging goes like this:
///
/// 1. The application starts.  Logging is initialized to capture _all_ log
/// messages into memory regardless of their level by issuing a call to the
/// set_inmemory() function.
///
/// 2. The application offers the user a way to select the logging level and a
/// file into which to store the log.
///
/// 3. The application calls set_persistency providing a new log level and a log
/// file.  This must be done as early as possible, to minimize the chances of an
/// early crash not capturing any logs.
///
/// 4. At this point, any log messages stored into memory are flushed to disk
/// respecting the provided log level.
///
/// 5. The internal state of the logging module is updated to only capture
/// messages that are of the provided log level (or below) and is configured to
/// directly send messages to disk.
///
/// 6. The user may choose to call set_inmemory() again at a later stage, which
/// will cause the log to be flushed and messages to be recorded in memory
/// again.  This is useful in case the logs are being sent to either stdout or
/// stderr and the process forks and wants to keep those child channels
/// unpolluted.
///
/// The call to set_inmemory() should only be performed by the user-facing
/// application.  Tests should skip this call so that the logging messages go to
/// stderr by default, thus generating a useful log to debug the tests.
