Re: Removing obsolete function `org-truely-invisible-p'.

[Samuel Wales <samologist@gmail.com>]

idk and will go along with whatever developers decide, but your note
was a good reminder that visible mode can be checked.

also made me wonder if it is possible to move anything from org-macs
out to topic-specific files like org-visibility.el or so?  no?

[idk what org visibility functions do what.  although i suspect org
can do it, i still use htmlize-buffer-substring-no-invisible.]
