38@brief
39    Handles different output-levels of errors, warnings, infos, and debug information.
40
41    The COUT(level) macro acts like @c std::cout, but the output is only performed if the given
42    level is <= the soft debug level.
43
44    There are two used values in this file:
45     - The hard debug level is used during compile time. It describes the highest allowed output level.
46     - The soft debug level is used during runtime and is the maximum of the three configurable
47       output-levels for console, log file, and in game shell.
48
49    The separation between the three devices is done by the OutputHandler.
50
51    @anchor COUTlevels
52    Possible levels are:
53     - 0: Very important output
54     - 1: Errors
55     - 2: Warnings
56     - 3: Information
57     - 4: Debug information
58     - 5: More debug information
59     - 6: Crazy debug information
60
61    Example:
62    @code
63    COUT(0) << "Very important output" << std::endl;
64    COUT(1) << "Error: Something went wrong!" << std::endl;
65    COUT(2) << "Warning: There might be a problem." << std::endl;
66    COUT(3) << "Info: It's Monday" << std::endl;
67    COUT(4) << "Debug: x is 1.23456" << std::endl;

99/**
100@brief
101    Logs text output: You can use COUT(level) exactly like @c std::cout, but you have to specify an output level as argument.
102@param level
103    The level of the following output (passed with <tt><< "text"</tt>). Lower levels are more important. See @ref COUTlevels "the description above" for a list of possible output levels.
104
105    Example:
106    @code
107    COUT(3) << "Some info" << std::endl; // Output with level 3
108    @endcode
109@note
110    <tt>(a > b ? 0 : c << "text")</tt> is equivalent to <tt>(a > b ? 0 : (c << "text")</tt>
111    where <tt>(a > b ? 0 : )</tt> stands for COUT(x). This should explain how
112    this macro magic can possibly even work ;)
113@remarks
114    The <tt>? :</tt> operator requires both possible results to have the type of
115    the first. This is achieved by the int conversion operator dummy
116    in the @ref orxonox::OutputHandler.
