  "List of severity level definitions for `display-warning'.

defines LEVEL as a severity level.  STRING specifies the
description of this level.  STRING should use `%s' to
specify where to put the warning group information,
or it can omit the `%s' so as not to include that information.

The optional FUNCTION, if non-nil, is a function to call
with no arguments, to get the user's attention.

The standard levels are :emergency, :error, :warning and :debug.
See `display-warning' for documentation of their meanings.
Level :debug is ignored by default (see `warning-minimum-level').")
