 From the doctests of the ksmith_mcweekly-layers branch, here is the 
implementation as is. All tests pass, if there is consensus on the 
naming, it's ready for merge.

grok.layer(IBasicSkin)

class MySkinLayer(grok.ILayer): # inherits from IDefaultBrowserLayer
    pass 

class MySkin(grok.Skin):
    grok.layer(MySkinLayer)
    grok.name('myskin') # this is actually the default

class Mammoth(grok.Model):
    pass

class CaveDrawings(grok.View):
    pass # uses module-level grok.layer(IBasicSkin)


cavedrawings = grok.PageTemplate("""\
<html>
<body>
<h1>Hello, world!</h1>
</body>
</html>
""")

class MoreDrawings(grok.View):
    grok.layer(rotterdam) # overrides grok.layer(IBasicSkin)

    def render(self):
        return "Pretty"

class EvenMoreDrawings(grok.View):
    grok.layer(MySkin)

    def render(self):
        return "Awesome"
