12575	Create a better interface for getting/setting the effective level of contrib.messages	Chris Beaven	Chris Beaven	"As Jeremy Dunck [http://groups.google.com/group/django-developers/browse_thread/thread/cba6d6154dc38e90/78a2078cc1375231?hl=en#78a2078cc1375231 reported], the API to set the effective messaging level is awkward: 
{{{
# Change the messages level to ensure the debug message is added. 
messages.get_messages(request).level = messages.DEBUG 
}}}

The general consensus seems to be having two methods called 'get_level' and 'set_level'.
