Description

Hello!

Currently there's a [base zoom option](https://github.com/mapbox/tippecanoe#dropping-a-fixed-fraction-of-features-by-zoom-level) for dropping features that stops dropping points beyond a given zoom level.

I tried to use it with clustering expecting no clusters beyond the specified base zoom, but it didn't work, clusters where still forming. So I guess it only applies to point dropping, and I couldn't find a base zoom option for clusters.

**Is it possible to add a base zoom option that prevents clustering beyond a given zoom level?**

Thank you for your time!
