Exactly to have one function instead of repeating two function calls
everywhere. Log level should be set when log type is registered. Yes, it is
possible to factor out a function just to pick log level, but I'm not sure
it makes sense separately.
In fact may be it makes sense to substitute just register with this one
(I.e. remove simple register from piblic API and do not highlight that
level is picked up in function name).
