 bottom level terms"? Say you've the following terms

 > - Term 2

 > - - Term 1b

 This.


 > 2. Just top-level terms with no children: `Term 1`

 Not this.

 entirely)? What's the use case for this?

 My use case is with an hierarchical taxonomy and showing a different page
 when we are at a terminal node as opposed to a node with children.
