I found that thread, but I'm concerned that having "virtual layers"
would be confusing to beginners and could get in the way of people
just trying to hammer out a quick single- or dual-layer board. (For
example, adding a LM317 to a cheap wall charger.)

What do you think about setting route-styles on a per-layer basis.
I have drawn a picture of what I mean:

It is not to scale and I'm not sure how much more information we
can fit into the sidebar space, but I hope to also indicate the
line and/or via width beside each route style.
