##  This package sets up the new Info messages system
##
##  Informational messages are controlled by the user setting desired
##  levels of verbosity for InfoClasses. A set of InfoClasses is an
##  InfoSelector, and classes and selectors may be built up with \+
#N  I wanted to use \or, but this isn't an operation
##
##  A message is associated with a selector and a level and is
##  printed when the desired level for any of the classes in the selector
##  equals or exceeds  the level of the message
##
##  The main user calls are  NewInfoClass( <name> ) to define a new class,
##  \+ or \[\] to combine InfoClasses into an InfoSelector
##  SetInfoLevel( <class>, <level> ) to set desired printing levels and
##  Info( <selector>, <level>, <data>, <moredata>, ... ) to selectively print
##  <data>, <moredata>, etc. There is SetInfoHandler( <class>, <fun> ) to
##  customize the way the <data>, etc. are printed. 
##
##  Also available are InfoLevel( <class> ) to inspect the level, and
##  SetAllInfoLevels( <level> )
##
#N  There may be a case for doing this without using method selection at all
#N  as it could then be installed earlier in library loading
#N
##
##  This file is the declarations part of that package

#N  or LowerInfoLevel (the opposite) be any use?

#O  InfoLevel( <class> )              get desired verbosity level for a class
##
#N Does this make sense for a selector (gets the max of the levels for the
#N classes that make up the selector, presumably)?
#N
#N In the final version, this will have to be done directly, not via an
#N Operation, as the kernel needs to do it quickly, and for a whole selector

##
##  If the desired verbosity level for any of the classes making up selector
##  is equal to or greater than level, then this function should Print "#I  "
##  then do CallFuncList(Print, <data> ...) (where <data> may be multiple
##  arguments), then Print a newline. Can be customized with SetInfoHandler.
##
##  Info is now a keyword, implemented in the kernel, so that data arguments
##  are not evaluated when they are not needed
