Change names of Subclasses/Layers?

Hey guys, I've been looking around for a SKILL command that will allow me to rename a layer in the stackup (like you can visually from the stackup window). What I'm trying to script is the process of inserting a layer between two existing layers in an existing design and updating all the necessary portions of the file, namely that the layer names need to make sense. For instance if I add a new layer between Lay1 and Lay2 in the following stackup:

TOP

Lay1

Lay2

Lay3

BOT

I need it to now be:

TOP

Lay1

Lay2

Lay3

Lay4

BOT

Rather than:

TOP

Lay1

Lay4

Lay2

Lay3

BOT

Does anyone know of a way to get this to work?
