It seems one can't change selective-display-ellipses to, say "@@@" or
any character string.  18.57.

Instead of nil & t:
18.57help> selective-display-ellipses's value is t
18.57help> 
18.57help> Documentation:
18.57help> t means display ... on previous line when a line is invisible.
18.57help> Automatically becomes local when set in any fashion.
How 'bout nil & t, and favorite character string?
