Hmm. But all functions verify multiple levels. What distinguishes
bt_index_parent_check()'s verification is that the downlinks in
internal pages are checked against actual child pages (every item in
the child page, in fact). It's the parent/child relationship that is
verified in addition to the standard checks of every page on and
across (not between) every level.
