The render layer manager node manages the list of render layers currently available, including keeping track which one is the current one, and enforcing a unique number per render layer.

The current render layer is the one whos number matches the "current" input attribute's value. It is an error to have no match, although this condition will default the current render layer to the default layer.

The default layer is always number 0, and is always connected at multi-index 0 of the 'renderLayers' multi-attribute. Other render layers are connected in order of their compositing priority
