+Add a custom 'CANCEL' log level and use through runtime.
+
+In order to reduce log messages and also start toying with the idea of
+"application layer" oriented tracing, we added this new level just above
+'runtime' but just below 'info'. It is intended to be used solely for
+cancellation and teardown related messages. Included are some small
+overrides to the stdlib's ``logging.LoggerAdapter`` to passthrough the
+correct stack frame to show when one of the custom level methods is
+used.
