New Layer

I'm not sure if this has been talked about before (wouldn't be surprised if it has), but nothing would be higher on my wish list than a new layer like the GM layer that you can allow certain players to see. This mostly comes about with trying to run an encounter with invisible or stealth creatures some players can see and some cannot. Usually GM's are stuck either letting all the players see the enemy (or object) or using a time consuming series of whispers with the player or players involved. With the former leading to unfortunate meta-gaming sometimes, and the latter slowing combat down when this should be making the encounter more interesting. Beyond this, I'm sure there are many other uses for this layer other GM's can think up, such as for players who can see magic or are having hallucinations or visions. But let me know what you think.
I realize a suggestion I just made was very similar to yours: <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/1649267/multi-la" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/1649267/multi-la</a>...
