I have no opinion yet about the exact tag to use, but as a mapper and 
overpasser, I would appreciate a clear way to distinguish quarry lakes 
from other lakes. Most that I've mapped are within active quarries or 
quarries that were recently converted to nature preserves. The ones in 
active quarries change shape often, enough that I have to completely 
redraw them every time new aerial imagery comes out.

Come to think of it, maybe I could use colour=turquoise to distinguish 
them in the meantime. ;-)
