+1 on this - I also think it's good practice to get feedback/other
dev's perspective on stuff like this.

My apologies for any delay I've caused in this PR - I've tried to
respond as quickly as possible, but that's not always easy. It
actually took a considerable amount of time to review/test this PR
(and honestly, it didn't help that the initial implementation was
quite buggy and confusing to test ;)

I'd still be in favor of merging this PR for 2.12 (given the extensive
testing given to the latest version), but that's Jürgen's call to
make, not mine. As mentioned in the PR, it still should be looked over
by Martin as I have no experience with the layer tree code and can't
make a call on those changes.
