> Does this mean that you can now draw voids in the mask layer?

While this does technically allow the pcb file to have a layer type
LT_MASK that would serve this purpose, that does not mean that the
rest of the code in pcb is expecting such a layer.  It would be an
independent task to add such support to the various exporters, if
you're interested.

In addition, the GUI does not yet have any way to change the type of a
layer after it's loaded.  You'll have to hack the file to change it.
