I saw a quiz question the other day about which English word has
the most meanings in the Oxford Dictionary.  I thought "get", but the
answer was "set".  "Level" has a few different meanings, too ... ;-)

"Set of levels" is less ambiguous than "level set", but is cumbersome.

So I think you should go with "level set", but use i18nc() for the translators
and careful doco, tooltips or whatsthis to explain it to the user.

All the best, Ian W.

P.S. "Change level set": is that three verbs or three nouns?  Or maybe
"level" and "set" are adjectives?
