`g:solarized_visibility='low'` actually makes my Vim `'listchars'` invisible rather than low-visibility in iTerm. 'normal' and 'high' visibility settings produce the expected results.

Filing this here rather than in the vim-colors-solarized repo, as it appears to be unique to iTerm and not due to anything in the Solarized files for Vim. I say this because both Apple's Terminal.app (version 2.2.1 (299), running on Lion 10.7.2, with color presets grabbed from https://github.com/tomislav/osx-lion-terminal.app-colors-solarized), and MacVim (snapshot 62), display the `'listchars'` fine.

This is happening on iTerm 2 build 1.0.0.20120123 (the latest at the time of writing). Results are the same with `TERM` set to `xterm` or `xterm-256colors`, and outside or inside of a tmux session (where `TERM` is `screen`).

I have `t_Co=16` explicitly set in my `~/.vimrc`, as well as `background=light` (although the issue is identical with `background=dark`. I also tested with `TERM=xterm-256colors` (using the standard Mac OS X terminfo database) and `t_Co=256`, but I see exactly the same issue.

Running with iTerm color presets pulled from current HEAD of this repo, and vim-colors-solarized also at its current HEAD.
