This patch adds back a factory to create value layouts in a generic way. While we cannot make the API 100% type safe, some dynamic usages can greatly benefit from this. The `Binding` class provides a good example (greatly simplified here). Also, the logic for reconstructing layouts (see `describeConstable`) becomes a lot more regular.
