To be clear, what this mode does is turn off the simple way of getting 
the shadow tree.  It does not promise that someone can't get at the 
shadow tree via various non-obvious methods, because in practice such 
promises are empty as long as script inside the component runs against 
the web page global.

The question is how to name this.  "Hidden" seems to promise too much to 
me.  Perhaps "obfuscated"?  "Veiled"?

P.S.  Tempting as it is, "RedWithGreenPolkadots" is probably not an OK 
name for this bikeshed.
