I have a question about Logging module in Julia 1.1.

When I use Logging module with default configurations, the warn macro and error macro shows output position information (ex. @ Main REPL[3]:1), but the info macro does not.  
Like:

> julia\> using Logging  
> julia\> @info “info”  
> [ Info: info  
> julia\> @warn “warn”  
> ┌ Warning: warn  
> └ @ Main REPL[3]:1  
> julia\> @error “error”  
> ┌ Error: error  
> └ @ Main REPL[4]:1

However, when I use global\_logger() funcion to set logger level, the info macro shows output position info.

> julia\> using Logging  
> julia\> global\_logger(SimpleLogger(stderr, Logging.Info))  
> ConsoleLogger(Base.TTY(RawFD(0x00000011) open, 0 bytes waiting), Info, Logging.default\_metafmt, true, 0, Dict{Any,Int64}())  
> julia\> @info “info”  
> ┌ Info: info  
> └ @ Main REPL[4]:1  
> julia\> @warn “warn”  
> ┌ Warning: warn  
> └ @ Main REPL[5]:1  
> julia\> @error “error”  
> ┌ Error: error  
> └ @ Main REPL[6]:1

Does someone knows how to suppress output position information of info macro when I use global\_logger()?

Special treatment of `Info` is a feature of `ConsoleLogger`, so perhaps you want that instead of `SimpleLogger`. (Otherwise you need to define your own logger type and write a suitable message handler.)
