This is just a proposal with code. Please feel free to close.
The option collapses trees that are deeper than specified level.
The option character is '-l' (small L) from Level. It's collapseLevel in code.
Checking whether a process has any child or not is because to set better value to "Process.showChildren". It improves +/- signs before process name.
The collapseLevel will be cleared when user expands or collapses any tree.
I don't know this is reasonable approach or not, but I think it's practical one. Of course, htop is an important tool and should be implemented carefully.
I hope it will be useful stuff as one of the experiments.
Thank you.
Examples:
htop -t -l 0
htop -t -l 1
↑ Some of signs are "+" those have any child processes, other signs are "-".
