+# send-invisible reads a line from the terminal, displaying an
+# asterisk for each character typed.  It stores the line in the
+# global variable INVISIBLE, and when finished reading, inserts
+# the string ${INVISIBLE} into the original command buffer.
+
+# If one argument is given, it is the prompt.  The default is
+# "Non-echoed text: "
+
+# If two or three arguments are given, they form the prefix and
+# suffix of the inserted INVISIBLE.  Defaults are '${' and '}'
+# but these can be replaced, for example with '"${' and '}"' to
+# enclose the whole word in double quotes, or '${(z)' and '}' to
+# split the value of $INVISIBLE like the shell parser.
+
+# To use:
+#  autoload -Uz send-invisible
+#  zle -N send-invisible
+#  bindkey '^X ' send-invisible
+# Or more elaborately:
+#  hidden-command() { send-invisible '% ' '${(z)' '}' }
+#  zle -N hidden-command
+#  bindkey '^X%' hidden-command
+
+# Shamelessly cribbed from read-from-minibuffer.
