So what is now the best way to achieve the same effects/behaviours as
the 'intangible' text-property? One of the packages i maintain uses
'intangible' on some text in a minibuffer, to facilitate movement
between the two fields whose contents users can modify: left- and
right-movement doesn't move point through individual characters of
non-modifiable text, but moves point past the entirety of that text.
