I would argue that the layered texture feature is defective by design. It is
pretty much the only case where two blocks of the same kind without any wrapper
have a special meaning. For other cases, namely with the addition of "material"
this has been fixed a long time ago. Maybe it is time to force something similar
for layered textures... at least outside scene objects.
