  43.     The Eraser is used to remove blocks of color from the current layer,
  44.     selection, or image. If the Eraser is used on the Background layer,
  45.     the eraser will remove color areas and replace them with the current
  46.     background color. If used on a normal floating layer, the color will be
  47.     replaced with transparency. The same rules apply to non-alpha images.
