The point of the design is that, while the details are murky, we can
make a "best effort" choice to map feature names to levels in
`treesit-font-lock-feature-list`.

This way, users can set a vague global "level" preference as a good
baseline, which they can more finely tune according to their own
preference by controlling individual features for specific modes.
