Well, see, that's why I think enums are not a great way for this kind
of stuff. #defines allow for more freedom, for example, to just skip a row of
numbers, like has been done in various other places in Blender.

Well, the Layer Manager is something i (and many others) considered for official
release some day.

My original Problem was (as posted here) that I want to visualize Layer state
by Color, and I wanted to use the 3d View -> Selected color to denote layers with
selected objects in them, but uiBlockSetCol(block, TH_SELECT) doesn't work, it only
accepts button colors it seems.

So, I wanted to add some themeable colors for layer manager buttons, but that's
not possible, either.

This is quite a dilemma :)
