The settings module is updated. More info is shown in --help.

For example, the default value for format is now shown.
The log level stays lowercase in the config file by using a custom serializer/deserializer.

Usage: prux [OPTIONS]

Options:
  -c, --config <CONFIGFILE>
  -l, --level <LOGLEVEL>
  -p, --port <LISTENER_PORT>
  -u, --uri <SERVER_URI>
  -i, --maxmindid <MAXMIND_ID>
  -s, --maxmindpass <MAXMIND_PASSWORD>
      --save-config <SAVE_CONFIG>
      --format <FORMAT>                 [default: TOML] [possible values: TOML, YAML, JSON]
      --show-config
  -h, --help                            Print help
  -V, --version                         Print version

I'd just use a serde alias here, much simpler. https://serde.rs/field-attrs.html#alias

It's about lowercasing the value, not the field name. The current version stores it as a lowercase string like info so I wanted to keep it the way it is.

@allan2 In that case if you want to preserve the previous behavior while using a custom serializer, you should lowercase the rest of the string. As currently we would always toLower the whole string, you could mix and match casing it would work. This would theoretically introduce a breaking change.
