on the danger of not having anything constructive to add. It sounds like a good proposal to me. This is a potential option which could increase the speed of certain workflows, I know I'd make use of it. More so, the proposal seems well researched and presented, the image really wasn't necessary. To have the first reply be something slightly dismissive seems unnecessary. If it is possible to use this independently of layers (or node "layers", as GEGL will hopefully bring someday), then you can add this in the "paint in the new layer" step. Only you'd have a lot less cleaning up to do, depending on how sloppy you are.
