Currently, not that I know of.  It wouldn't be easy to combine with
adaptive coarsening with the current code, either; we currently test
Elem::level() mismatches to determine where to apply constraints, for
example, and the only way to get element with different levels of
refinement to have the same level() would be to flatten the mesh
refinement hierarchy.

I used MeshRefinement::face/edge/node_level_mismatch() years ago, and
there haven't been any code changes that would have been likely to
lead to bit rot in that class.  We don't have any test coverage of it
though.
