[Ralph Versteegen]

That sounds problematic for grid and layout slices: although you could
adjust the child's x/y so that it doesn't move, all the other children
would, and if you similarly adjust all of their positions so that they
don't move either, well, the result is quite absurd. It would be a far
better idea to instead implement z-ordering of slices, which could be used
to cause one child to appear above the others, as well as an incredibly
diverse array of other uses. I want to implement that but I think
"z-ordering" is a problematic name, and I'm not sure how/whether it should
interact with existing walkabout and BattleSprite Z and slice autosorting.
