While we are at it, it there an explanation why there are both "layers" 
and "children" attributes in a gimp.GroupLayer, that return essentially 
the same thing but with a different class;

>>> image=gimp.image_list()[0]
>>> g=image.layers[0]
>>> print g
<gimp.GroupLayer 'Group3'>
>>> g.children
[<gimp.Layer 'Group 3-2'>, <gimp.Layer 'Group 3-1'>]
>>> g.layers
[<gimp.GroupLayer 'Group 3-2'>, <gimp.GroupLayer 'Group 3-1'>]
>>>

In practice, the "children" method is a bit of  a pain when you walk the 
tree, because the image has "layers" but no "children".

But a gimp.Layer has "children" but no "layers"...

All this is highly confusing... with a single "layers" attribute that 
always returns a GroupLayer when possible things would be simpler IMHO.
