Thanks.

I use "C-x $" quite a lot in certain use-cases of my workflow.  If
this key binding is switched to use invisible properties, and if the
result has some hint that portions of text are hidden (like the
ellipsis in selective-display), then I don't mind.  (In fact, it makes
my job of adding bidirectional editing easier, as there would be one
less display feature to handle ;-)
