Description

Hello Spin team,

Is it a good move consider the possibility to modify the log variable RUST_LOG with sort of like SPIN_LOG for avoid misconfusions during a scenario with multiple runtimes/languages laid down in a project?

Research direction

Search the repository for RUST_LOG handling and any documentation or tests that describe it. Determine the scope of replacing or supplementing that variable with SPIN_LOG, including compatibility expectations for existing users. Done should mean the logging variable is unambiguous when multiple runtimes or languages are used and the relevant behavior is covered.
