I'm not sure "mimics" is a good key, but I can't think of a better one.

As others have said, tower:construction is a bit of a mess. I'd suggest
that if there is a
mimics=* (or whatever key is settled on) it is unnecessary to state that
it's concealed.
It's implicit in the fact that it's mimicking something. Which would help
rationalize
tower:construction a little.
Also, if I can see a fake pine tree, it's not concealed, is it? If it were
concealed, I wouldn't be
able to see it at all. Another reason to drop tower:construction=concealed.
So while we're adding mimics=* (or whatever) let's deprecate
tower:construction=concealed.
