Uhm interesting stuff. I'll read that.

Perfectly agree on that. Also here in Italy we just had political
elections... no goverment *yet* for something like a month :D

I added the 'everybody please comment' to have feedback. I have exposed
my point and I think I have nothing else to say on the topic (other than
personal preferences). If the core developers or most other people at
the end think that an int would be better then, as I said, I'll even
backpatch the LAYER_NUM to int. No problem with that. The work wouldn't
be had done in vain anyway since I discovered the many points of layer
usage and that would be useful later (version control is useful for that
too).

Is that democratic enough for you? :D
