I for once have never seen any log API with

And this I believe for a good reason: in 99% of production code I've seen, several log levels are mixed, i.e INFO, CRITICAL and DEBUG for instance, so the case where a single log level is used, even in the same method, just never happens. The proposed solution looks extremely inconvenient to me as it will almost always necessit two lines of code

instead of one.

How good than, that you can pass the LogLevel as first argument to the

log function.

We repeat many times: you can add
Logger.logInfo("Here be dragons");
syntax. It's much better than
Logger.log(LogLevel.Info, "Here be dragons");
