unobtrusive node squares

[A_Pirard]

When displaying at a low zoom level, all you see, especially of towns, is yellow swarms of what will be squares after substantial zooming in. Something could be done so that ways are shown instead, as a guide of where to zoom in, and even a tidier view when zoomed in.

Suggestions:

• not display squares below a user configurable low zoom level (one you never edit with but use to find your way)
• or/and not display a square at all when it's obvious there is one (at a sharp angle, esp. building corner)
• - unless it's not standard (color), either node or path is selected, the mouse hovers over node or path, ...

It is possible to hide all node squares using custom MapCSS style, e.g.

canvas { default-points: false; }

I didn't manage to specify zoom levels for it though.
