I haven't thought out any specifics for our rust env yet, fwiw log provides a target
and the module-path in the Record metadata, either or both could be used for employing
some filtering.

FWIW, we already depend transitively on the `tracing` crate, which could be also
leveraged for a use case like this. Maintaining that is some work, IME having, somewhat
thought out, tracing integrated in a system can make debugging and the like multiple
orders of magnitude easier and faster.

I would imagine that sections could be seen as what I called topics, so yes,
something like that.

would be an option, but IMO not too relevant where the current level comes from, I'd
figure that once we decide on a basic direction of how/what the setting source should
be rather on the easy side.
