Description
it's not always convenient or helpful to hide a mesh, or part of a mesh. sometimes one needs to see sub-objects of a mesh in order to work around them. it would be great if one could "freeze" selected/unselected verts in edit mode so that they are not translatable or selectable while working on surrounding subobjects.

would be great with proportional editing.

I agree, especially useful if one could still snap to them.

Great idea.
Now it's possible to get this effect if you hide geometry with Subsurf enabled - in wireframe, the hidden parts show in gray.
Actually, I think this should be a switch in the panel ("draw hidden"). It could have three steps - drawed normally, but not selectable, drawed in light gray wireframe and not shown at all.
