I'd suggest writing down somewhere all the things we could do with
multiple layers selection (like locking from transformation and/or
painting, or maybe adding alpha channels to multiple layers). Having a
more ore less complete list of use cases would help. The wiki at
gui.gimp.org could be just the place for that.
