[Tagging] objects mixing linear and area (for ex fence and landuse)

[Eugene Alvin Villar]

For cases where the whole perimeter is fenced (or walled), I prefer
avoiding overlapping ways on the same shape. So I would create a way and
tag it as barrier=fence/wall and then create a type=multipolygon relation
having the first way as an outer member and tag the relation as landuse=*.

If there is a gate that is large enough to be mapped as a linear way, then
we can have two ways, one for the fence/wall and the other for the gate,
then combine them all into the aforementioned multipolygon relation for the
landuse.
