It can lead to more dofs, but is not a bad idea to try testing. However,
I'm in unfamiliar territory in that part of the code. I know @roystgnr
mentioned to me at one point that arbitrary level refinement patterns
should be supported, but hadn't been exercised. Roy/John/Ben, could you
guys comment on enforcing a 0-level requirement? It looks like the
maintain_level_one argument is deprecated and doesn't accomplish what
Miguel is looking for. Any way to set enforcing 0-level refinement patterns?

Again, in theory libMesh can support 2-irregular and so forth, but I'm not
sure who has exercised that code, if at all. Roy/John/Ben would know better.
