Caleb Cushing updated LOG4J2-2971:
----------------------------------
Description:
I suspect this would be an API breaking change, but it seems like the `Level`
class should be an enum instead. I don't really understand why it's not. Tried
to write this code with picocli only to be surprised when it didn't work.
this means that picocli and many libraries wouldn't be able to simply generate
options. In this case I'll have to do quite a bit more work to tell picocli all
the possible values.

```java
@CommandLine.Option( names = { "--level"}, defaultValue = "error",
showDefaultValue = CommandLine.Help.Visibility.ALWAYS, description = "enable
debug logging" ) private Level logLevel = Level.ERROR;
```
this means that picocli and many libraries wouldn't be able to simply generate
options. In this case I'll have to do quite a bit more work to tell picocli all
