[Bf-committers] Layer system

[David Bryant]

That sounds really good.If we could make the layer code more modular (not 
spread all over the place) and flexible enough to update or plug into would 
be awesome when considering  API design.I've been losing sleep trying to 
figure out where to start.The code is so boggling.
