So something that allowed a gradation of error conditions?
If you grep for errorlog in the source code you can see all the the
things that generate error conditions (sent to stderr)

I was having trouble judging which ones should result in an error
statement.

it wouldn't be hard to add a -e # option - to do the same as debuglevel.

A little explanation - I had used Michael's logging class so there were
2 types of output - stdout and stderr.

errors go to stderr, notices,informational messages to stdout. Obvious.
I have all errors with the same error level. I don't think I want
debuglevel and errorlevel linked. I like the flexibility of knowing
anything that is an error but I don't want to see informational
messages.

so would a -e # work well enough for you?
