I do object to '('.
Partly because I am tempted to think ')' will undo whatever it's other
pair did.

$ is indeed better than @. Remember `$' is used in conjunction with
selective display.

I object to M-o. The verb `Omit' is generally not used. It has bad
connotations. (My mom will spank me if I omitted something)
Let's omit omit and stick with show or hide.
