There is no reason to avoid this crucial Emacs concept.

Yes, and it is explained in the manual.

The concept of "point" is fundamental in Emacs.  Some of the most
basic commands in Emacs refer to point, in their names and their
descriptions.  I think we can expect users to learn the Emacs concept
of "point" long before they are ready to try using hideshow.el.

So I suggest defining `after-point' or some other synonym.

But that doesn't require eliminating `after-cursor'.
If users specify that, let's keep doing what they are asking for.
