New Layer Blocks

I was thinking that since we have
go back () layers
there should also be a
go forward () layers :: looks
block, so the sprite can go forward a few layers. I also think that because we have a
go to front
block, a
go to back :: looks
might make sense, too. However the work around for this would quite easy, so I don't think that it would be too useful.
when green flag clicked
go back (9999999999) layers
Another layer block could be
set layer to () :: looks
but I think that it might cause some confusion, because you might not know what layer the sprite currently is, or what it will look like when it is a certain layer. To fix this we could have a
layer :: reporter looks
reporter block that can tell us what layer the sprite is.

Please tell me what you think, and if anything should be changed about this. Also, if there is a workaround for any of these blocks, then please let me know.

Check out my games, if you want to. I make sure to share a cool variety, but even though I haven't shared much, I try to make each one count, but they can only count to 7 so far.

go back ([10^ v] of (309) ::operators) layers
Is not a workaround, unlike yours as it goes back Infinity, causing it to come back to front as there is no “Negative Infinity” layer.
Anyway, support!

surpport! that would be awesome!

Three things i dislike:
1. Lists
2. Signatures
4. Irony
5. When people say they only are going to say 3 things then say 4.

Support, bit in don't think there are any reporters (In scratch itself, not the UI) that record or report a layer so it may take a while for this to be added.

I only support
go to back :: looks
. All the others are either workaroundable, or would not be very useful.
