There's plans for additional layers?

If there are ever more map layers, maybe this command should allow the user to
designate exactly where the layer should go.

You would have some ranking system like this:
rank:  layer:
0      layer-0
1      layer-1
2      NPCs
3      Heros
4      layer-2

The highest rank appears to be on top of everything else
The user says "Verily, layer 2 inhabits rank-the-second!"
and behold, the command automatically re-arranges the ranking like this:
rank:  layer:
0      layer-0
1      layer-1
2      layer-2
3      NPCs
4      Heros

This obviously is compatible with additional layers - you simply would have
more rank slots.

Maybe I'm alone in this opinion, but I don't feel that the OHR needs additional
maptile layers - not right now anways.
However (now that I'm on the subject), I always thought it would be super sweet
if 320X200 backdrops could be included amongst the map layering (given that
they had a defined "transparent" colour).  This way, you could easily have a
Field of View, obscuring mist, or do other cool visual effects.  Maybe you have
a flashy magic animation where the whole screen catches fire - whatever.
