Wow, how time passes....

I finally had time to take care of this. I have made several changes in several places in ContextL, and it should now be possible to use named layers by referring to their name, as well as anonymous layers interchangeably. I'm pretty sure that I covered all cases, but of course there could still be problematic corner cases I have missed. Please let me know if this works for you.

Thanks again for submitting this bug report. I'm still interested to know how you use ContextL here... ;)


Best,
Pascal
