An idea is a new opcode

  vbaplayouts inum

that allocates an array of ls-instances and assigns it to the
global variable `vbap_layout_array'. Then the fractional part of
`idim' in

  vbaplsinit idim, ilsnum [, idir1] [, idir2] [...] [, idir32]

is the number of the layout. Example:

  vbaplayouts 4
  vbaplsinit 2.01, 8, 0, 45, 90, 135, 180, 225, 270, 315
  vbaplsinit 2.02, 8, 0, 30, 80, 140, 150, 200, 290, 330
  vbaplsinit 2.03, 8, 0, ...
  vbaplsinit 2.04, 8, 0, ...

If the frac(idim) is 0, the ls-instance is created with the
classic `create_ls_table'.
