Guide rows in the Layers panel drag (the selected guides when the row is
one of them) onto any row of another layer, which lights up, and go to
that layer in one undo step (guide.setLayer takes indexes). Guides on no
layer, from files saved before guides had layers, go on the top visible,
unlocked layer when a document opens or is reverted.

A ruler guide goes on the current layer (guide.add {layer}), shows,
hides, locks and is deleted with its layer, is listed in the Layers panel
as a row that selects it, and moves to another layer (guide.setLayer).
Guides on a hidden layer neither show nor snap; those on a locked layer
can't be picked.

A dock column's groups scroll under its top strip, each open panel at
least 160 points tall, instead of running off the bottom of the window.
Drop zones in a column only use the part of a group in view.

A group's upper half inserts the dropped groups right above it and its
lower half right below it, in floating sets and dock columns alike, and a
dock column's room under its groups puts them at its bottom; the edge
bands were too thin to hit, and the one above a dock column's top group
lay outside the column. The tabs a drop stacks panels with now light up
over the panels.

A floating set dropped on the left edge of the icon column or of a dock
column docks as a new dock column there, building a multi-column dock.
Its groups stack, take tabs and tear out as in a floating set; the strip
along its top floats the column again and its × docks its panels where
they live. Popped-out icon panels open left of the dock columns. Columns
are kept in preferences and workspaces; window.panel.dock takes column.

Floating panel groups dropped on another group's top or bottom edge join it
in a set: the groups stack top to bottom, move together by the top group's
title bar (whose × docks them all), and a group dragged by its tab strip
leaves the set. A double-click on a tab collapses a group to its tabs.
Sets and collapsed groups are kept in preferences and workspaces, and
window.panel.float takes below, above and collapsed.

A Shift-click on a guide adds it to the selected art (guide.select
toggle keeps the art), and Shift-adding or -removing art keeps the
selected guides; a new selection still clears them. With both selected,
Delete deletes the art and the guides in one undo step (not when ids are
given).

A PDF that names a font without embedding it (here a standard Helvetica)
is drawn with a stand-in, so comparing its glyphs with the installed
family's styles picks whichever style happens to look most like the
stand-in: with a large Helvetica family installed, Helvetica became
Helvetica CE Medium (tests_import_fidelity::text_becomes_point_type
failed on such a Mac). Fonts without a font program now keep the face
their name resolves to; embedded fonts are still compared as before.
