man_made=breakwater now require area=yes to fill. intentional?

[Gazer75]

Was this an intentional change?

[imagico]

Yes. See #1504.

[Gazer75]

Can't say i agree with this move, but ok...

[matthijsmelissen]

The rationale: all objects that can represent both linear and area features now require explicit area=yes to treat them as areas. In the old situation, closing a linear feature could (unexpectedly) change the semantics. Perhaps for breakwater this was not a big practical problem, but for other features like city walls it was.
