Yes! In fact, when I first started to work with layers I'd expected
the layers to work like this (i.e. store change instructions instead
of pixels).

Being an old Unix hacker, I'd go for a way to have Gimp dump the
changes in some structured way to an external (text) file, one that
can be editied and re-applied.
