Add date/time field to layers

Yes, that would be a useful feature. At the moment, each layer has a timestamp:

{"_obj":"metadata","layerTime":1664401609.088069}
{"_obj":"metadata","layerTime":1664401609.0880774}
{"_obj":"metadata","layerTime":1664401609.0880833}

However, it is updated every time the document is saved (regardless of whether a separate layer was changed or not).

In theory, we can write a script that writes an additional block of metadata at the time the layer is created and then reads it if necessary (indicating the age of the layer in its name or, for example, with various color labels).

Certainly an interesting idea. Could be useful for long running projects where you just lose track of what you did when and which version of a layer was combined with what. As an extension of this there should probably be a function that selects layers based on this criteria or sets the layer color.
