 A useful strategy for theming layers with large sets of rules is to
 "divide and conquer" by theming off of some kind of summary attribute or
 by some kind of distribution. From there the filters of the individual
 rules can serve a basis for a themed sub-layer filtered on the parent
 summary/distribution filter.

 Maestro currently does not make this type of workflow easy to accomplish.
 All we need is a button on the layer style editor which will allow you to
 pick the desired rules, and it will then go off and create a new layer
 definition off of each selected rule, with the filter set on that
 particular rule's filter, the given rule and it's parent style will be the
 default style/rule for this new layer.
