CLI commands for exporting sets of layers and checking total number of layers
It would be very useful to have the cli-options "--export-
Motivation: I use Inkscape for all types of diagrams. For slide-show presentations, I use html-Frameworks or LaTeX-Beamer documents. If I create "incremental growing" diagrams withtin my presentations, I mostly use one Inkscape document and define different set of layers for the single pictures I need in my presentation. Exporting the layer-sets from the gui (by setting some layers invisible and using the export dialog) each time I changed the document is not very handy. It would be much more comfortable to use the cli within a build script or make file to get all the picture-parts I need.
I also use Inkscape together with a bash-script for creating mouse cursor themes in which this feature would be nice, too. I can imagine a lot of other applications that would profit by this feature.

2016-10-01 VictorWestmann : so you're suggesting developers create sort of a console inside the application to manipulate objects on canvas? Is that it? Similar to Mozilla Firefox 49.0.1 has now? :-)
