Loggers are declared by thrird party code, so we have no idea about the
number of loggers.

Ok, that will certainly work for us, but I'd consider this a (small) hack,
because we'd have to duplicate information that is presumably already
present in Boost.Log.
More precisely, we want to provide a utility function where you pass in a
logger and a severity and the function then modifies the global filter so
that all records comming from the specified logger with a severity below the
specified one will be discarded. Unless I'm missing something, this would
require us keeping a global list of all loggers that have a filter applied,
correct?
I assumed that somewhere Boost.Log keeps such a list anyway, so I'd rather
use that one than build our own.
