Occasionally I've needed to mask OUT parts of an object where compound paths or pathfinder solutions weren't an option. It would be nice to be able to non-destructively "hide" portions of an object with a mask instead of revealing them. As it is, I'll sometimes have to draw needlessly complicated paths around an object to encircle the part I want to show. Would anyone else see this as a useful feature?
