Just a quick note on the values proposed.
All of the Alt Ns have overview + N-in-the-name options for N >= 2.
e.g. show2levels, show3levels...
For the sake of completeness/consistency I would suggest having a N=1
variant with that format too. This would duplicate the behaviour of
"overview", but if say I currently have "levels:2" and I want to bump it
down to 1, then I'd naturally go to "levels:1" and expect it to work.
