Labels Behind Feature Classes

[CharlesKimmel]

I have been working on creating a custom basemap and I have run into an issue which I think is peculiar. Why is there not an option (or I cannot find the option) to put labels behind feature classes? I know this may not be ascetically pleasing, but I really want this option with actual labels and not converted graphics. I would like to preserve the quality of the text vectors. This would be really useful when I have a lot of features on the map and the road labels are covering them and all I am wanting with the road names is a general sense of the location. Am I missing something and this can be done somehow or is this a really crazy pointless idea?

That's what I think, too.
