% When being backgrounds layers get the background offset
% displacement. Should be an option, on by default
% (compatibility).

% positie=forceer == ja maar dan ook in status=herhaal

%D The layering mechanism implemented here is independent of
%D the output routine, but future extensions may depend on a
%D more close cooperation.

%D First we overload a macro from \type {core-rul}. From now on
%D we accept a (optional) argument: the specific layer it
%D will go in. This means that we can move an overlay from one
%D background to the other using the dimensions of the parent.

%D Each layer gets its own (global) box. This also means that
%D the data that goes into a layer, is typeset immediately.
%D Each layer automatically gets an associated overlay,
%D which can be used in any background assignment.
