It would be useful to have something like a `getLevelNames` method to return the current list of level names, ordered by priority. This currently appears to be available only by accessing a private member, like `_levelToName` or `_nameToLevel`. This functionality is useful, for example, in populating a `choices` list for an `argparse` option to allow a user to select a logging level when launching a program from a command line.
