What?
A method (i don't care what method) to make rendered sprites respect each players alt-mode setting.

Why?
To make vanilla-style informative overlays that the player can dis/enabled at will.
Because a native implementation would hopefully be much faster than manually calling set_players() on thousands of objects.

I have implemented this for 0.17.45 (didn't make it into todays release unfortunately). All rendering.draw_X functions will have the only_in_alt_mode parameter, as well as a getter and setter.

Awesome. Thank you.
Why don't you have a staff name though?

Sorry, I usually mention that I have source access. I can submit pull requests to add small stuff like api requests and bug fixes, but i'm not a wube dev.
