Duh.

FWIW, I was blindly cut/pasting from the *info* pages, which says:
(section: 14.5 A cleaner outline view)

When I actually read it, it's obvious, but given the context, I think it'd
be better to have the docs read something like:


  2. _Hiding leading stars_
     You can modify the display in such a way that all leading stars
     become invisible.  To do this in a global way, configure the
     variable `org-hide-leading-stars' or add this line to top of the file:

          #+STARTUP: hidestars

     Note that the opposite behavior is selected with 'showstars'.
