another selection-feature I'm missing quite often (maybe it is already
there and I don't know how to use it) is the use of the
selection-rectangle to select ways but not nodes. Currently if you
select by rectangle you will only select nodes, and ways completely
surrounded. The selection I am talking about would select all ways
intersected or completely within the selection rectangle, but not the
contained nodes.
