That you can't connect between layers is not an accident. That was a
design decision we(I) took when implementing layers. The internal
complexity and efficiency is much better when the layers are separated. It
also is less confusing for the user, and i feel that not much power is
removed from the user.

It will mean changes to all layer code.

Possible.

I can dig that. It's easy to implement to.
