i was wrong, you can already disable warnings using --debug 0 ;)

it's clear already, just have a look at the library header (--debug -1
will enable all logs, --debug 0 will disable all of them, 4 will display
errors only and so on)

i have no idea how could this be easier to use, though for sure it may
be hard for someone who is not familiar with the hexadecimal numbers

maybe something like chmod's +r w x a etc?

debug is 1, warnigns is 4, i don't think we would like to change these
causing an api change
