While doing these changes, it would be not too hard to add some
additional information to the layout. It would be interesting IMO
to display (in grey) the document class model right to the layout

"AMS" would be written.
I'm not sure what you mean here. If it's really the document class
we want to display, then that's the same for everything in the
layout. If it's the file where the layout is defined, then some
paragraphs will come from e.g. stdsections.inc; some from the main
*.layout file; and some from modules; but I don't know if the
ordinary user will care. And some will originate in one place and
be modified in another, or even be deleted and then totally
redefined. So I'm not sure there's any clear sense to "where
things come from". And at present, we don't have this information
stored in the DocumentClass object. Of course, it could be put
there.
It was just an idea if we had useful information like that
available. The reason behind it is that I would like to see some
more order in the layout list. Some kind of layout section/
categories or so would be nice, separated visually by a separator
in the list. E.g. the theorem environments in one section, list
like environments in another, and documents properties like author,
date, institution in yet another. No idea if this is feasible with
the information we have about layouts.
I like this idea, too. All we'd need to do is introduce a "Category"
tag in the layout files, and I guess a corresponding enum. Should be
quite simple, really, though going through all the layout files and
adding a "Category Blah" tag will be a pain.
Then let's implement the infrastructure for that. I will add it to the
layout popup as soon as I get the tag from the layout. That should be
quite easy. About how many layout do we speak here which must be
categorized?
