-------------------------------+--------------------------------
 Our default logging setting is either "Log notice stdout" or "Log warn
 stdout" or "", depending on the command-line options.  Right now, this is
 set in options_validate, which should not be setting anything at all.
 It's also set at the wrong time: defaults should be set in
 get_options_defaults(), so that they have the right semantics when you try
 to replace them or extend them.

 I'll be fixing this as part of the parent ticket, but I'm making a
 separate entry here so we can refer to this bug in particular.
