I am not sure if this is > needed often enough to warrant the extra code and documentation. I can't speak for other people, but I use this kind of functionality in nearly every plot I do. Usually I contourf a field in 4-level greyscale, then contour over that to make 8 contour levels, then contourf over _that_ to mask land points (I run models so I have 'land' arrays I can use for this). Sometimes I them put polygons (sometimes transparent) over that to highlight regions. Usually how I've been doing this is by going in to illustrator and manually altering the stacking of the plot elements. Ideally how I wish it worked was that the default zorder was set by a counter, so the oldest plots on an axis would be buried under the newer ones.
