 * If running under a terminal, and the logging header == the short description or the status, this log message is deferred until either some other log
 * message is generated or the operation completes.</li>
 *
 * <li>If running under a terminal, and the operation has a status defined, that status is shown in the 'status bar' at the bottom of the screen.</li>
 *
 * <li>If running under a terminal, and the operation has a short description and no status defined, the short description is shown in the 'status bar' at the bottom of the screen.</li>
