But how should this work? It's a good thing that you can seperate things
that you don't want to automatically connect into seperate layers. So I
don't think the normal method of connecting should work between layers.
Should we have an explicit connect? Or an option in the layers dialog to
say which layers auto-connect?
Just a few days ago, when talking about Undo, I noted how the very fact
that you can't connect between layers makes it easier to do undo of layers.

That's what the eye in the layers dialog is for. It also hides it in EPS,
though the bounding box is now correctly calculated.

That's probably easy, once we figure out what to do about inter-layer
connections.
