There is something to watch out for, here: extra conceptual levels can
make the system and/or its manual harder to understand.  This can be a
net loss, if the extra levels don't do a lot of good and if you can't
make them invisible to beginning users.

I don't know the details, so I won't venture to say that that WILL happen
in this case, but it is something to think about.
