FWIW `logging` has a built-in checker / converter[0] which is already used in a bunch of places (e.g. the aforementioned setLevel), it could just be added inside `disable` in the same way it's used in setLevel[1] and would uniformly convert "level names" to proper levels or raise an error. That seems like a really easy patch / contribution.
