+ The `get_level_values` method is a crucial utility for extracting
1787
+ specific level values from a `MultiIndex`. This function is particularly
1788
+ useful when working with multi-level data, allowing you to isolate
1789
+ and manipulate individual levels without having to deal with the
1790
+ complexity of the entire `MultiIndex` structure. It seamlessly handles
1791
+ both integer and string-based level access, providing flexibility in
1792
+ how you can interact with the data. Additionally, this method ensures
1793
+ that the returned `Index` maintains the integrity of the original data,
1794
+ even when missing values are present, by appropriately casting the
1795
+ result to a suitable data type.
