 - Any objects passed should either be recreated or frozen to prevent changes
-  - opts for `node:util.inspect` should likely just be sealed/frozen?

   - TL;DR: there's a funny behaviour with spread where `undefined` set as a value replaces "legitimate" values, which TS ignores.
   - Not an issue if the user has "exactOptionalPropertyTypes" set to `true`, but this is not the default

 ## TODO:
 
-- do I need more settings utils yet?
+- ❓ do I need more settings utils yet?
   - future features will add some, so `Logger.logger` existing is fine
-- env var overrides for settings?
-  - definitely want a way to override `defaultLevel`, probably not `errorLevel` tho
-- how should the `errorLevel` setting be used? Is it even needed?
-  - technically could just declare one internally with the defaultTemplate?
-- should log levels have an output stream option (i.e. stdout, stderr, custom stream)?
-  - what type are streams even
-- how to handle currently set log level?
-  - basic idea is that any level below the current one is ignored silently
-  - i.e. for `["log", "warn", "error"]` with currentLevel `"warn"` any `"log"` level log will be ignored
