Mostly agreed.  I actually can't understand why the default value of
line-move-ignore-invisible is nil rather that t since I haven't seen any
code yet which wants it to be nil (all packages I could find that might add
invisible properties to eol-chars set it manually to t).

It would be easy to tweak the C code so as to make it customizable.
I'd argue that it should use the same var as `line-move',
i.e. line-move-ignore-invisible (except I'd rename it to something like
move-skip-invisible since it wouldn't be specific to line-move any more).
