The design is that, the user uses decoration level to set the rough level, which enables a set of features, then use treesit-font-lock-recompute-feature to do more fine-grained control by additionally enabling/disabling features.

If I also want the assignment features, which is in level 3, but don’t want other features in level 3, I would use treesit-font-lock-recompute-feature to enable that feature. Similarly, I can use treesit-font-lock-recompute-feature to disable the preprocessor which is at level 2, without affecting other features status.

Oh! All is well, then :-)
