yet another property type "plane". This allows mask hints to be
handled like tile planes. That is, after all, what they represent.
Although this change is transparent to the end user (apart from a
slight performance improvement that is probably not noticeable), it
allows for a number of useful future extensions, including the
ability to handle non-Manhattan geometry in mask hints, and the
ability to view and edit mask hints like any other layout.
