If you *really* need this, then you've probably run into a missfeature.
Stephan, with some missgivings, decided to treat IBrowserRequest as
the default layer, which may be too inflexible for two reasons:

- It makes the default layer required

- It forces the default layer to be last

If we need more flexibility than this, then we need to add an
explicit default layer.
