Yes, that's how I understood what you were saying: changing the list
of features enabled/disabled by specific levels.  This is not a
user-level thing, so describing it in the ELisp manual is good enough,
I think.  (If it turns out users want to do this kind of thing too
often, it probably means our design of the user-facing features is
sub-optimal and should be improved.)
