Yeah. It didn't even occur to me/us that someone would do that, to be
honest. We need to have zpos information for all planes that we're
using in order for zpos to be at all meaningful, and we can't exactly
avoid using the primary plane. Without knowing the primary plane's
zpos, we can't know if the overlays are actually overlays or in fact
underlays.

Perfect. We support immutable properties entirely well, we just need
to know about them.
