Hi Christian,
There aren't plans to implement this in the immediate future. It was
added to the API at the beginning because the precursor to Openmap
supported it, and we thought, at the time, that OpenMap would naturally
have the same functionality. Since then, though, it's been pushed on
the back, back burner. I was thinking about removing it from the API,
but I never got around to it. There should be an interface that
describes this functionality instead. Maybe a change for 4.7?
The DeclutterMatrix declutters for Location objects, maybe that's what
you're looking for?
