   Do they ignore options and faces whose _values_ are hidden?
   That is not the same thing as for the option itself to be hidden.

They ignore options whose state is `hidden'.  I do not know what you
mean by the option itself to be hidden.  The name of the option or
face is always shown, even if the state is `hidden' (meaning that the
value and sometimes some other stuff are hidden).  Faces are `hidden'
by default.  So are groups.
