Description
It would be nice to define custom log levels in a similar way to the full log4js to avoid TypeScript compile errors.
Using a custom log level (e.g.: `this.log.verbose('some msg')` causes a compiler error: Property 'verbose' does not exist on type 'Logger'.
Using `@ts-ignore` doesn't scale well and typing log4js as `any` is hacky and dangerous.

Research direction
Start by inspecting the Logger type and the public API of this compatibility layer. Determine how callers should declare or access custom levels such as verbose, then verify that TypeScript accepts the usage without @ts-ignore or any.
