It would be cool if we could find pages by depth (the number of parents).
Example:
$tier_three_pages = $pages->find("depth=3");
And this would potentially be a lot more efficient than looping over $page->children and $child->children when dealing with large numbers of descendants:
// I know it's possible to work out depth via $page->parents->count
// but might as well have depth as a property if the parent count is going to be stored in the DB anyway
$min_depth = $page->depth + 1;
$max_depth = $page->depth + 2;
$children_and_grandchildren = $page->find("depth>=$min_depth, depth<=$max_depth");
