Comment (by senlin):

 It looks like `user_level` is used on quite a few places: `wp-
 admin/includes/deprecated.php` (3x), `wp-admin/includes/upgrade.php` (4x),
 `wp-includes/capabilities.php` (5x), `wp-includes/ms-functions.php` (2x)
 and `wp-includes/user.php` (1x, the block mentioned by @Ckeboss).

 It has also been described in detail in the Codex
 [https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_User_Query#Who_Parameter]

 Perhaps it's ok to use in WP_User_Query?
