[Feature Request] Per layer 3-bits blend mask (fg/bg/glyph)

Probably it could simply overlap layer visibility state (multiple clicks with shift on it could cycle between all 8 modes).
Even if not persistent in .xp file, it would greatly simplify my mockup proofing
Everyone can dream ...  right?

Hm, not sure how something like this would really work, not on the UI level but in terms of the console architecture.

I'd have to see a sample use case to have a better idea of the ultimate goal, but even then I don't think it could be supported without adding this as a feature to the engine itself, which would slow the whole thing down.

That and not including it in the .xp format would be kind of annoying (loses it's long-term value...), but adding complexity to the format isn't something I'd want to do, either. We'll see what happens in the future--a feature like this would be beyond a lot of other higher priorities at the moment (which are all themselves still sitting behind the highest priority: finishing Cogmind xD).
