2.8+ Proposal - Layer Node Idea

Had a go at drafting what layer nodes could look like. They are designed based on image & texturing program's blending workflow combined with Blender's node structure. Also this could be incorporated with texture painting mode layering system.

I like this. It's almost like the principled shaders concept: bundling many nodes into one super node. It's a lot easier for beginners to learn and speeds up experienced users while also making for a cleaner node tree. I agree that it would be nice to have it so that psd and multilayered exr files where split out to separate layers automatically.
