The 'intangible' property is a Great Thing for Emacs, since it
simplifies the use of invisible text; however, in my version (19.22),
at least, it is strangely uni-directional: why doesn't point jump
backwards when you approach it from the right, just as it jumps
forwards when you approach it from the left?

I would also second the motion for an 'inhibit-intangible' variable,
though I acknowledge that packages shouldn't be moving point around in
the first place.
