Comment 4 for bug 171047

I recently wished Inkscape could have mask layers, so I think this is a very useful feature, instead of creating mask/clip objetcts.
I don't know if SVG permits this sort of thing in the "g" element, but it could be awesome, like in Flash. We could double click in the masked layer and edit the objects within, without the mask effect. I checked the new version and this feature is not present.
I'm changing status to New.
