Marker depth sorting

Markers should surely disappear when they go behind objects. It's quite annoying when you have a script which marks a large number of objects (e.g. in my CHARM2 add-on) to see them through the Earth.

This is not a new request; is there a bug report for this?

Celestia may need to be able to select two different types of markers -- ones which are obscured and ones which are not.

It is very important for some markers to be visible through opaque objects -- when you are trying to track occultations, for example, or trying to find objects hidden from your current viewpoint, or while creating an Addon and trying to get object alignments to be correct.
