|o| };

I should add that since any given message may only be under one leve and
one facility, the comma above taken in a positive sense means a logical OR
while taken in the negative sense (using NOT) means a logical AND. So
"level(info,notice,...)" means "level(info) OR level(notice) OR ..." while
"NOT level(info, notice, ...)" means "NOT level(info) AND NOT
level(notice) AND ...".

Merely a suggestion.
