+The default is t, which means that text is invisible if it has a non-nil

+This variable can also be a list.  The list can have two kinds of elements:
+`ATOM' and `(ATOM . ELLIPSIS)'.  A text character is invisible if its
+`invisible' property is `ATOM', or has an `invisible' property that is a list
+that contains `ATOM'.
+If the `(ATOM . ELLIPSIS)' form is used, and `ELLIPSIS' is non-nil, an
+ellipsis will be displayed after the invisible characters.
