+/// 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.
