The canvas faded a template layer as a whole by a fixed half and ignored its
Dim Images option, so unchecking it or setting another percentage changed
nothing, and the layer's paths were faded with its images. A template layer's
images are now dimmed to its Dim Images percentage (50 % when Layer Options
makes it a template), shown at full strength with the option off, and its
vector art is drawn as it is.
In Outline view a template layer drew as outlines like any other, so a
picture placed to be traced turned into a box. It now keeps drawing in
Preview (dimmed as before) while the other layers are in outline.
Rarely set fields move into one optional boxed NodeExtras, and large NodeKind payloads (images,
live shapes, blends, envelopes) are boxed. Every object, and every undo step that copies it,
shrinks: a 50k-path move keeps ~24.5 MB per step instead of ~40 MB. Files stay byte-identical
(Node keeps its flat JSON through a borrowed Serialize and a from-wire Deserialize, no flatten),
and loading is slightly faster. Undo and redo reuse their step's size estimate instead of
walking the document again (8.3 -> 5.6 ms for a 50k-path move).

skip_templates, which exports and thumbnails set, left template layers out
but drew guide paths as hairlines. It now skips guide paths too, as the
SVG, PSD and PDF exports and printing already do.

Art in a sublayer is now selected as objects (clicks, marquee, Select All, the
Select menu), sublayers select in their own colour, and hidden, locked or
template sublayers block clicks. Layer Options gain Preview (per-layer outline)
and Dim Images. New and fixed layer.* commands for the Layers panel: setCurrent
and highlight (rows at any depth), selectAll, move (reparent with cycle and
nesting checks, Alt copies), delete/duplicate rows, merge, flatten, collect,
release to layers, reverse, template, hide/outline/lock others and their
show/preview/unlock all, locate.
