Perhaps it's overkill, but could we draw inspiration from other CSS properties. Like `grid-template-areas` where you can name the areas and specify them in each individual rule?

For example:

```css
div {
  background-layers: "base"  "artwork";
}

.foo {
  background-layer: "base";
  background: red;
}

.bar {
  background-layer: "artwork";
  background: url("image.png") no-repeat right top;
}
```

Which would compute to:

```css
background: red, url("image.png") no-repeat right top;
```

I feel like this could play nicely with existing conventions and understanding of the `background` property?
