Sorry to disappoint -- I'm really pleased to see someone make a start on this. I don't know how important it is to have this *and* the identity layer -- the only real point for identity was as a template for building new layers. Now, if someone wants a new layer, they could start with your sanity module & strip out all the checking. It's a bit of a pain having lots of layers hanging around as they add work to the already fairly tedious process of introducing interface changes. While I think we're mostly done with that now (modulo Roland's array texture branch), I think it probably makes sense to prune a couple of the less-useful layers we have hanging around.
