It'd be very natural to extend the current behavior to also ignore text
that's hidden via `display` rather than via `invisible`, but please be
careful not to consider all `display` properties as hiding the text,
since some do and some don't (not sure which is the official definition
of which do and which don't.  Maybe `display_prop_intangible_p` does
the trick?).
