> This customization option lets users easily pick the level they want.

2 reasons:
- rather than let people work around problems by reducing the level, we
  should work harder to make sure that the default level is OK
  for everyone.
- "level" is the wrong way to think about this.  Instead, we should have
  separate controls for different font-lock features.
