This refactor matters if config file reload()s layout.py module, AND live-patches the Layout instance to use new code. (Which is doable, see #120 for WIP recipes.)
Previously, old _setup() code would run to completion, because it's already inside that function. A second config reload would be needed. Now, new _setup() code may take effect immediately.
The code also got a tiny bit simpler.
