Summary: logging.getLevelName returns a number

Initial Comment:
logging.getLevelName function doc says that it returns
the "textual representation of logging level", but if
the argument is already the level name, the log level
integer is returned. It should return the argument.

The problem is that if I add my own levels, and call
LoggerInstance.log( levelName, message ), the formatter
will save the level number in the log, insted of the
desired level name.
