Just to clarify: I think that's a common misunderstanding. The only
contract for layers is that they have 'setUp'/'tearDown' methods and
__bases__ and it isn't specified anywhere that they must be a class.
We're happily using objects in Landscape, we just happen to set the
__bases__ attribute of those objects to 'fake' layer inheritance.
