Terrastruct looks really nice, and kind of like a 2D version of the 3D thing I'm thinking of; if you could attach key-value properties to nodes and vertices, and had different rendering modes that made use of any of these properties to render the item differently, that would probably be pretty close. For example, a layer that displays a physical network might only consider vertices with a `kind` attribute of "physical link"; that limits the layer to all nodes with a matching vertex between them, and the layer would also only display those attributes of the nodes relevant for the current view.

Does that make sense?

Yeah we do this with globs.

  a.class: backend
  b.class: frontend

  # hide everything
  **: suspend

  layers: {
     backend: {
       # show backend stuff
       **: unsuspend {
         &class: backend
       }
     }
  }
