bug#28080: 25.2; `outline-invisible-p' should be specific to `invisible'


From: Drew Adams
Subject: bug#28080: 25.2; `outline-invisible-p' should be specific to `invisible' property of `outline.el'

This is the definition of `outline-invisible-p' in `outline.el':

(defsubst outline-invisible-p (&optional pos)
  "Non-nil if the character after POS is invisible.
If POS is nil, use `point' instead."
  (get-char-property (or pos (point)) 'invisible))

That's wrong.  Outline should recognize and respect, for its purposes,
only the invisibility that it, itself, imposes.

Here is a correct definition, AFAICT.  My own use of this indicates that
it DTRT.  In particular, I believe that it handles all of the invisible
text that Outline itself imposes, so that `outline.el' loses nothing by
using it.

(defun outline-invisible-p (&optional pos)
  "Non-nil if the character after point is invisible for outline purposes."
  (eq (get-char-property (or pos (point)) 'invisible) 'outline))

(It also should not be a `defsubst'.  1985 has come and gone.)

This fix is important for letting `outline.el' play with other code that
uses text invisibility for other reasons.  For example, I use it with
Info mode in a TOC buffer.  (That lets you show/hide parts of the TOC,
move parts around, etc., while still keeping hidden *Note:: etc.)
