#' Get the levels for a price index
#'
#' Methods to get and set the levels for a price index.
#'
#' @param x A price index, as made by, e.g., [elementary_index()].
#' @param value A character vector, or something that can be coerced into one,
#'   giving the replacement levels for `x`.
#'
#' @returns
#' `levels()` returns a character vector with the levels for a price index.
#'
#' The replacement method returns a copy of `x` with the levels in `value`.
#' (`set_levels()` is an alias that's easier to use with pipes.)
