Description

Pinging off discussion in #306, it might be good to have warning levels to set the verbosity of warnings for common things (like needing to merge chains). We would need to know:

  • In what situations do we currently generate warnings?
  • In what situations do we not generate warnings but perhaps should?
  • How severe are these situations?

We might then either want ordered warning levels (1, 2, ...) and/or warning categories/sub-categories that can be turned on and off via options.

Research direction

Start by reading the discussion in issue #306 and reviewing where the package currently emits warnings. Inventory existing and potentially missing warning situations, assess their severity, and establish an agreed warning-level or category design before implementation. Done means the warning behavior and configuration scheme are specified clearly enough to implement.
