 I have noticed that there is little control over the error reporting level
 that you can set,

 you can set error_reporting() in your wp-config.php file, but it will be
 overriden in load.php (called by wp-settings.php) by wp_debug_mode();

 this introduces a WP_ERROR_REPORTING constant, that will be checked and if
 set, error reporting will be set to that value.
 either in WP_DEBUG mode or not.

 so for example the, in the wp-config.php of the production installation,
 you use it like this,

 {{{
 define( 'WP_ERROR_REPORTING', ( E_CORE_ERROR | E_COMPILE_ERROR | E_ERROR |
 E_PARSE | E_USER_ERROR ) );
 }}}

 And it will throw no warning messages at all.

 This is also useful in conjunction with WP_DEBUG and WP_DEBUG_LOG, as you
 will be able to specify the error level and also log any errors.
