Of course, yet.

I don't strictly follow the principle of not allowing point on both
sides of the invisible text.  My experience was that while it makes
sense when applied at the level of `goto-char', it doesn't make as much
sense when applied at the level of commands.  An example might be
when a line has some invisible text at its end and I do C-e: I want
to skip to the end of the invisible text, but I don't want to skip past
the \n that follows it.
The correct behavior is generally dependent on the command, so the
code is fairly conservative and only moves point if it's "obviously"
good.
