I know for VASL, it has been requested that overlays not hide when you press 
the "hide all" button - not sure if that's being implemented but I'm thinking 
along those lines but for game pieces.  For example, FITS uses base control 
markers (pieces) to show ownership and those are usually buried under actual 
units on the map.  It would be nice to clear the playing pieces but keep the 
control markers on the board to quickly preview who owns what for VP 
calculations.

Obviously you'd want this to be backwards compatible, so yes, perhaps default 
all to $hide=true but give the option of making a piece $hide=false.  

Or, you could even expand upon that and make it a "layer by layer" option where 
certain layers of a piece may remain on map where otherwise it would hide.  ?
