That's good to know; thanks.  But I don't think it will
help code that has only a given frame to examine, e.g.,
code that doesn't want to bother some user by creating
or resizing frames to determine this.  And anyway, the
_code_ cannot, by itself, tell the _visibly wrapped_
condition.

IOW, that suggestion might help a user to determine,
by looking, what the situation is.  But I don't see how
I could use in from Lisp to know what the situation is.
Let me know, if I'm missing something simple.

Ah, that's just what I meant above.  Thanks for confirming.
