Yay!  Couple of belated comments, with the benefit of caffeine:

* Should we keep the double hyphen in "read-passwd--toggle-visibility"?
Feeling like it connotes "Emacs internals" somewhat, and wondering if
it's appropriate for interactive commands since they are "user-facing",
and users might feel discouraged from remapping "internal-looking"
commands.

* For the 'text icon variants, should we follow outline.el's example and
use full verbs, like " reveal " and " conceal "?

(Don't want to be a pest; I can take care of the follow-up patch if we
agree with these tweaks, haven't done so yet because EBATTERY)
