 If there are a lot of nodes on a way, it's hard or impossible to select
 because you end up dragging nodes instead of ways.

 One use case where this is a problem is aligning a roundabout with
 background imagery. To select the way, you may have to zoom in...but if
 there's no imagery at that level...

 Can we repurpose the Alt key to mean "don't select nodes" in unselected
 mode, and "don't try and form junctions" when drawing ways?
