Before people believe that tented vias are isolated, they are not,
or at least not always.

I've been badly surprised by that (contact with a metallic heatsink 
that happend to touch a tented via. I had to machine a (very small)
cavity in the heatsink to avoid the problem. 

Now what's the difference between that command and a more generic
SetViaMask with zero for the mask size; not SetViaMaskGap, simply
a command set sets an absolute mask size for all|selected|whatever
vias. BTW, I tend to tent all my vias (trivial through an awk script).
