I'll try to summarize. Sorry for the long lapses.

When I open a file such as authinfo.json.gpg, the passwords are clearly
visible to anyone that can see my screen. I'd like to hide them
visually. Ideally in a way that reveals them when I move inside them,
like `prettify-symbols-mode` does. Stefan suggested `reveal-mode` may be
the right place to do this work, so I investigated a little.

I think Lars was also interested in this, and I posted several URLs
where people are looking for more or less the same thing.
