Filter
A Filter can be used to provide fine grain control over
what is logged, beyond the control provided by log levels.
Each Logger and each Handler can have a filter associated with it.
The Logger or Handler will call the isLoggable method to check
if a given LogRecord should be published. If isLoggable returns
false, the LogRecord will be discarded.

The core functionality is encapsulated in the `isLoggable` method. This method takes a `LogRecord` as input and determines if it should be published. If `isLoggable` returns `true`, the record is published; otherwise, it's discarded, allowing for precise control over logging beyond standard log levels.\n"]]
