If there is a way to "recode" the "=", "==" and "!=" operators in python (??),
they should all be recoded (for the scn.Layers case) to affect *and*
compare just the lower 20 bits. Then, all is well, and nothing in Blender
needs to be modified, + no potential crasher functionality is exposed to
Python coders.
