- **`misc.loglevel` is a table keyed by the code, not a list of names.** A syslog
message carries the severity as the number its PRI encodes, so the code and the name
are one fact and goal 1 draws them together; a flat list of names would carry
neither the code nor a selector reaching it.
- **`misc.loglevel` is a table keyed by the code, rendering POSIX's keyword.** A flat
list of names carries neither the code a PRI encodes nor a selector reaching it, and
goal 1 draws the two as one fact. RFC 5424 spells the severity `Informational`,
which no syslog, PSR-3 or `slog` checker accepts, so the shipped spelling is the one
a configuration writes, `info`, and the RFC's name stays the `severity` column. The
