I don't know, partly because I don't know in which circumstances
intangibility is needed (other than for invisible text).

Maybe intangibility should work always as my code does (by moving
out of the intangible region at the end of a command).
Or maybe it should work yet differently.

The post-command thingy does not obey `intangible' but only
`invisible', right now.
