Right.  To be an improvement, the setting should be one which makes
sense independently from the modes which sets it and independently from
the packages that uses the setting.  I.e. one needs to get at the core
reason *why* we want this behavior in this case.

I suggest something like
`invisible-text-belongs-to-the-preceding-visible-text' (which hence
implies that if you move one, you need to move the other along with it).
Maybe a more concise name is in order, tho ;-)
