Use funiculars for foot-* and wheelchair

Asked on the forum.

They're fairly rare with 1500 ways worldwide but could be really useful for foot-* and even more for wheelchair. As far as I can see we don't include them yet.

Examples from Spain:

imho this should not be considered as long as we don't have a proper framework for public transport. I think funiculars could be categorized alongside cable cars, two-stop-railways, ferries. It's public transport. Already the integration of ferries in our current algos is problematic, as it is multi-modal while we have no support for multi-modal conditions such as timetables, capacities etc. We should not expand something that is already problematic.

I will close this as it seems the answer was that we shouldn't use it until we have a proper public transport viable solution
