This looks like a great start. In IRC we discovered we need to determine if
the text goes to the summary or detail. We already have the severity with
the methods. I'd suggest having each of those methods take an enum (DETAIL,
SUMMARY, BOTH or similar). One drawback I see about this is you can't
define a different message for the detail and the summary on one line, but
that may not be the end of the world.
