Description

Not exactly sure how this would work. It might require some kind of delay similar to the fade plugin so child tiles aren't immediately removed.

This would allow for progressive texture reupload etc to prevent lag spikes.

Research direction

Read the plugin path that implements set visible and compare it with the fade plugin's delay behavior. Define how asynchronous visibility should retain child tiles and verify that progressive texture reupload avoids lag spikes; the issue does not name files or tests, so the exact completion criteria need maintainer agreement.
