Thanks.  For #14914, there's no doubt for me that we should use
a "[✓] Hide details" menu entry.

Of course, they're different, but I assume the @ was chosen because it's
also used for things like outline-minor-mode, i.e. for other features
that hide parts of the buffer.

So, maybe @ should be a prefix key for "hiding stuff", in which we can
place key bindings for "omit" and for "details".
