[IMPROVEMENT] limit messages sent to the console in production environments

[denete]

Currently some components / modules / layers send far too many messages to the console. These actually get in the way when trying to triage code issues. Having a means to toggle console messages to only show selected levels of messages, and other situations would allow a more focused approach to triage. As the code base grows this will become more important. Implementation is best when done early in a project's life.
