Build on top of #2214 to provide the ability for layer commands to directly return results. So far, the only effect a command could have was to generate events to update a layer's state. Now they can additionally return information to the caller directly.
This is a capability I need (and am going to use in a follow-up pull request) to make progress on #2117.
