As we can never guess what a user would like for a specific document, how would
the following (nonsensical ?) scenario be handled?

Document has structure like:

1 Heading 1
1.1 Heading 2
Some text
2 Heading 1
2.1 Heading 2
Some text
2.2 Heading 2
<<-- "chapter" TOC here with request start from 1 (instead of more common start
from 3)-->>
2.2.1 Heading 3
2.2.2 Heading 3

With a request to start from 1, it is clear that user wants to repeat 2 Heading
1 and 2.2 Heading 2 in his chapter TOC (without 1 Heading 1 and its sub-tree,
nor 3 Heading 1 with its sub-tree and subsequent. If "Start from level" is
allowed to be unconstrained, it complicates entries collection because a
distinction must be made between shallower levels (retrieve only from current
"context" just like fields would do) and deeper levels (where usual engine can
be used).

So, the "Start from level" is the first level to include in the chapter TOC,
not the designation of the level where the TOC is inserted in the document.
