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. ?
