I've been thinking about such a thing. Changing the way PCB handles layers is not trivial, but I've been looking at doing just that. It would be the foundation for going beyond 8 layers, and adding lots of annotation layers like a true outline, mask and paste layers, keepouts, etc. Don't expect it soon ;-)
