Request: Let <$levelN_title> go to empty string for oversized N.
Currently, that placeholder just keeps reiterating the current document’s title for N higher than the document’s own level. That is unexpected behavior and a misrepresentation, because it reports titles at levels where they are not. Nor can I think of a rationale for having it behave this way.
Details: Suppose we have a binder set up like this:
Draft [folder]
Preliminaries [folder]
Fall of the Empire [folder]
Rise of the Xthians [a scene doc]
Bad Broodings [a scene doc]
If the following is placed in the prefix for the first scene document
<$level1_title> / <$level2_title> / <$level3_title> / <$level4_title> / <$level5_title> / <$level6_title>
We will get on compile:
Draft / Preliminaries / Fall of the Empire / Rise of the Xthians / Rise of the Xthians / Rise of the Xthians
What we should see is:
Draft / Preliminaries / Fall of the Empire / Rise of the Xthians
I learned of this puzzling placeholder behavior while trying to help someone craft a way to have a breadcrumb appear on each of their compiled manuscript docs. Because of this odd placeholder behavior, making such a breadcumb prefix is not practically possible.

P.S. The behavior may be entirely unintended. I did find in Forum history a report of a bug with this placeholder whereby it was giving the title of the document for every N. So, we may be seeing a vestige of that same bug.
