I believe that the current way of doing things is correct (apart
from not all places being consistent), i.e. have hasInternalGuards
and guards() being consistent.  What the Interpolators really
are asking from the Layouts is the maximum supported stencil size,
a thing the layouts cannot answer atm.  For this we need to provide
functionality.

I'll update the patch to canonicalize all this handling and apply
it to HEAD, maybe to r2_branch, too.
