Then there's no point adding a with-demoted-error.

Subject: 24.3.50; `isearch-open-necessary-overlays' handling of overlay
 property 'isearch-open-invisible'

The code would be more robust if it would gracefully handle (1) an
non-functional value and perhaps also (2) a functional value where
invoking the function raises an error.  Here is the problematic code:

(funcall (overlay-get ov 'isearch-open-invisible)  ov)

For (1), the code could be like this:

(when (functionp (overlay-get ov 'isearch-open-invisible))
  (funcall (overlay-get ov 'isearch-open-invisible) ov))

For (1+2), that could be wrapped in `ignore-errors'.  Dunno whether (2)
is an important case to handle or whether it is really advisable to
ignore such an error.

Handling (1) seems to me reasonable, and with no downside.  The behavior
is to just do nothing additional with the overlay - e.g., leave the text
invisible.

Dunno know whether similar considerations apply to
`isearch-open-invisible-temporary'.  I'm guessing no - its value seems
to be provided only by the Isearch code (whereas code far from Isearch
sets the `isearch-open-invisible' overlay property).
