M3.68: groups, layers and type have their own fills, strokes and effects, with Contents and Characters rows

Browse Source 
A group's or layer's own fills and strokes paint every member's geometry, below or above the
members as the new contents slot (Appearance.contents_index) says; its geometry effects reshape
the members as one piece and its raster effects apply to the composite (one combined shadow),
respecting knockout groups. Type's own fills and strokes paint under or over its characters.
Render, SVG/PDF (via bake) and Expand Appearance evaluate them alike.

Commands: appearance.* / effect.* take target: "object"|"contents" and layer ids;
appearance.moveItem moves the Contents slot (from: "contents") or an item across it
(contents); appearance.targetContents selects a group's members. Graphic styles applied to a
group now style the group itself. The Appearance panel shows Contents/Characters rows that
drag, and double-click to target the members or edit the characters' paint.

## Group, layer and type appearance
Groups and layers carry fills, strokes and effects of their own, as in the reference app: their fills and strokes
paint every member's geometry, and their effects apply to the members as one piece (one combined drop shadow; a
Transform or Warp moves or bends the whole group). Their Contents row (type: Characters) is a slot in the stack:
fills and strokes above it paint over the members (characters), those below under them; new items go above it.
`appearance.moveItem {"from": "contents", "to": n}` puts the row above the bottom `n` items, and an item move takes
`contents` to say where the row ends up in the same undo step; `document.node` shows the slot as
`appearance.contents_index`. The `appearance.*`, `effect.*` and `graphicStyle.apply` commands edit the selected
objects themselves (a group's own stack; layers through `ids`) or, with `target: "contents"`, the objects inside the
groups and layers. `appearance.targetContents` selects a group's members (double-clicking the Contents row).
SVG and PDF export bake a group's own fills, strokes and geometry effects into paths; its raster effects stay a
filter on the whole group.
