+- Hide street-vehicle brackets and callouts behind buildings and terrain. A
+  Street Traffic contact behind a building, a 3D tile, a hill or a tunnel roof
+  now loses its bracket and "VEH-nnnn" callout along with its dot, instead of
+  having them painted over the facade; aircraft, vessels and satellites keep
+  their labels over the scene as before (Sameh Khamis, @samehkhamis, #1659).
