If you encode a vector with a specific zoom range, let's say -z 4 -Z 6, tl info should return "minzoom":4,"maxzoom":6, not "minzoom":0,"maxzoom":22, as it does now.
May be adding some parameters like --no_overzooming --no_underzooming.
But you can solve that thanks to the -i parameter.
However tessera displays for a given level all the layers at this level on a higher level.
