I like the idea of being able to control verbosity.

A lot of enumerated types use the technique of defining a last entry, e.g.

enum sc_verbosity {
SC_NONE = 0,
SC_LOW = 100,
SC_MEDIUM = 200,
SC_HIGH = 300,
SC_FULL = 400,
SC_DEBUG = 500,
SC_IGNORE_VERBOSITY = 9999 // or whatever

};

You can then insert extra verbosity levels at some future date.

You could modify sc_report to

static void report(sc_severity,
const char* msg_type,
const char* msg,
// int verbosity,
const char* file,
int line,
int verbosity = SC_IGNORE_VERBOSITY
);

so the last parameter is optional.

What do people think?
