Comment (by knarf):

 Then CarpetTracker would need to know how many levels to add to which of
 its centers when the distance between these two gets closer than a certain
 value. CarpetTracker can track more than two centers, and we should find a
 mechanism which is that general. We could define a set of new_levels for
 each tracked surface, and one parameter for a distance. If any combination
 of valid surfaces is closer than this distance, these centers would change
 the number of their levels. The algorithm for that is N^2, but for up to
 10 levels that should be ok, especially given that we rarely use that many
 anyway.

 Btw: would it be better to specify the absolute number of levels here, or
 the relative number of levels to refine _in addition_ to what it would
 otherwise have?
