That would be a useful flag to add to the ElementLine and ElementArc
entries, to allow us to specify a layer (perhaps by name, perhaps by
type) other than the default "silk".

We switched to named flags to avoid that problem :-)

The flags "byte" is already an int plus two arrays (one for thermals,
one for pip).
