| The bottom line

I like this idea, but would like to add that a fore-fore-ground list is
also necessary for some of the desired effects (stuff that isn't
interactive, but is painted on top of the active layer).

Also, are these layers going to be tile-based, or one big looong png
file?  I can certainly see advantages and disadvantages both ways.
