The major difference between the two is that remove methods simply
remove the DynLayer but do not destroy it.  You can remove a DynLayer
and then add it back, possibly to a new parent.  When a DynLayer is
removed, it returns to the "unassigned" state (meaning it has no parent
and no DynDocument).

The delete methods remove the DynLayer and destroy all internal
references to it.  When you delete a DynLayer, you cannot add it back.
It's gone.  You have to create a new one.

That said, I wish there was some way to ensure that all references to a
DynLayer object were destroyed -- as long as even one reference remains,
the DynLayer will still exist, and the resources it uses will not be
released.  I don't think one exists; there's no way that I know of to
automatically detect all references to an object and destroy them.  Or
is there?
