Re: [Openexr-devel] Layer support in class ChannelList

[Florian Kainz]

I don't have a preference regarding what we call sets of channels
with the same prefix in their names.  So far, everyone on this
mailing list has referred to them as "layers", but if there is a
consensus, there's still time to switch to a different term; the
"layers" code is in the CVS repository, but it has not yet been
released officially.
