Implements a scene layer. Layers are used to organize groups of objects together, regardless of their position in the scene hyerarchy. Layers can be enabled and disabled to add/remove multiple objects from the scene. Objects in a disabled layer are explicitly removed from the scene traversal graph. Making layer disabling more efficient that setting object visibility when lots of objects need to be hidden.

SceneSayer derived classes are used to set various visual properties of contained objects (like lighting and compositing effects).
