I agree, we shouldn't make it harder to turn on logging. The easy solution is
just to add a separate logger for verbose messages (if we choose not to add
Verbose/Trace).
I don't know why we wouldn't just add a more verbose log level (Verbose,
Trace... I don't care what we call it). The presence of "DEBUG + 1" in
our code is evidence of a clear, actual need.
Making this a separate mechanism implies that the means of controlling
these more verbose messages is going to change at some point, and it
would be a change with no clear benefit. This means that, for example,
web pages intended to facilitate bug reporting [1] will need to be
updated to have variant instructions depending on the version of the
browser; and some such instructions are virtually guaranteed to be missed.
