 * __silent:__ Boolean flag indicating whether to suppress output (default false).
 * __eol:__ string indicating the end-of-line characters to use (default `os.EOL`)
 * __stderrLevels__ Array of strings containing the levels to log to stderr instead of stdout, for example `['error', 'debug', 'info']`. (default `[]`)
-* __consoleWarnLevels__ Array of strings containing the levels to log using console.warn or to stderr (in Node.js) instead of stdout, for example `['warn', 'debug']`. (default `[]`)
