I've been testing this (see attachment). I think that it might be ok
to put copper and technical layers on the same list. If needed for
clarity, something like "(copper)" could be appended to the names of
copper layers. However, all this would be mainly for looks right now,
since the layer selection is currently saved in a long bit field which
doesn't work very well for an unlimited number of layers. Any
comments?
