How do you fit mask, silk and other technical layers in a range? I agree
that it would work for copped layers. But IMHO the 'right' solution
would be to have a pin object containing it's instances for each layer
i.e.

Pin 1
    Pin 1 on front
    Pin 1 on inner 1
    Pin 1 on inner 2
    Pin 1 on back
    Pin 1 on silk front
    Pin 1 on mask front
    Pin 1 on mask back
    Pin 1 on assembly front
    Pin 1 on assembly back

That would allow you to have 'true' padstacks. Vias of course could remain
range based (unless you wanted to personalize via by layers, that could be
overkill)
