+      `A.B.C` evaluates to true, any event logged to `A.B.C` via a method call such as
+      `logging.getLogger('A.B.C').error(...)` will [subject to passing that logger's

+      named `A.B`, `A` and the root logger, after first being passed to any handlers
+      attached to `A.B.C`. If any logger in the chain `A.B.C`, `A.B`, `A` has its
+      `propagate` attribute set to false, then that is the last logger whose handlers
+      are offered the event to handle, and propagation stops at that point.

       The constructor sets this attribute to ``True``.
