No access to the message output level from API

           Summary: No access to the message output level from API
           Product: Ant
           Version: 1.5.4
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Windows NT/2K
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: Other
         Component: Core
        AssignedTo: dev@ant.apache.org
        ReportedBy: petrovs@hotmail.com


Here is my situation : I'd like to control the amount of the info that my 
custom task puts on the screen according to verbosity settings that user passes 
in the commanline (-verbose, -debug etc.). The task itself is a wrapper around 
the existing code that uses System.out/System.err and I can manipulate the 
level of its' output with a set of proprietary parameters. But I can not match 
them with Ant's message level since I have no access to it at runtime. It would 
be nice to have something like Project.getMessageOutputLevel() that returns the 
current message level set from the command line.
Of course my other alternative is to provide something like 'verbose' attribute 
on my task but this is ugly since I have to explicitly set this flag every time 
rather than automatically inheriting user settings.
