To= me, this is really a feature request to add a little checkbox next to = every layer param to get the layer after the effects and transformations = have been applied.

Actually, most people would probably want that = to become the default, so maybe you'd check the box to get the current = behavior, with old projects getting it checked when upgraded to = CSNext.

I know this feature has been requested before, maybe it's = just not in the top 10.
