documentation, it does not appear that this functionality is included.  I
suppose I could get into the sourcecode of covering_grid, but I thought I'd
ask here first.

pf.h.grids has an array of grids. This is definitely in the docs. You can
get their LeftEdge and RightEdge, and they also have the
get_global_startindex function which gives it to you in level-relative
integers.

any function which does this publicly, or is it all buried in covering_grid?

What I am getting at is that you could just use covering grid and specify a
lower level than the highest.
