I hear a lot of folks say "scripting" when what they mean is
"in-editor command line" - we have one but it can't do everything the
mouse can do. If this merge can give us that feature somehow, that
would be cool.

This would be the biggest benefit.

The 'R' key already does this

Each layer should be a generic CSG, which would give us this anyway,
rather than add a new special type of object.

If you broke the HID interface in your port, you've done something
wrong anyway.
