> Often when particular lines are hidden, one wants to count only visible lines. count-lines presently cannot do
> this. XEmacs has for a long-time had count-lines take an optional 3rd parameter flag which if non-nil, ignores
> invisible lines in the line count. This would be very helpful whenever selective-display is in use.

Patches are welcome to add this.

Also, we have forward-visible-line, which might prove instrumental.

Thanks.
