Re: [PHP Template] Recursive hide behavior

My feeling is that it should not hide the parent by default.  However, we
could do something like change the allowed values of autohide to "all |
none | vars | sections".  This gives the developer pretty fine grained
control at every level in the hierarchy.  This also opens the door to
autohide="$varname", which means only autohide for that particular var.
Dunno if we wanna get that crazy or not.  If so, what to do about multiple
vars?
