I think the best way to implement this is to have ob.setattr to parse a sequence instead of an "int" value. (see vector() in mathutils) That way ob.layer will accept a single int or a list of values. This approach would allow you to do ob.layer = ViewLayer().

I dont think its ideal for have ob.layer accepting both formats of 
layers is ideal.
What if they want to see of the object is equel to the view layers?

if ob.layer != Window.ViewLayer(): # Would Not work

would need to do

oldlayer = ob.layer
ob.layer = Window.ViewLayer()
visLayer = ob.layer
ob.layer = oldlayer
if oldLayer != visLayer: # This would work.
    .....
