Issue #317: result.kind/result.level

["Larry Golding (Myriad Consulting Inc)" <v-lgold@microsoft.com>]

Despite our discussion this morning, kind.debug is not necessary, because:

 

• The notification object does not have a kind property. Only the result object has it.
• For a result, kind.debug makes no sense. The usage scenario for kind.debug was a tool trace message. You wouldn’t record such a thing as a result.

 

If you want to explicitly represent a tool debug or trace message as a notification (and you don’t think level.note is good enough), you’d need to add level.debug. But then you couldn’t use the same level enumeration for results and notifications, because level.debug makes no sense for a result. The ability to unify the level enumeration was one of the attractions of splitting result.kind from result.level.
