[OpenLayers-Users] setVisibility VS visibility:false

[Alexandre Dube]

Sorry, I meant only on layer creation only.  I see in some examples this 
kind of practice :

        var twms = new OpenLayers.Layer.WMS("base_world",
            "http://world.freemap.in/cgi-bin/mapserv?",
            {
                map: '/www/freemap.in/world/map/factbooktrans.map',
                layers: 'factbook',
                format: 'image/png'
            }
        );
        twms.setVisibility(false);
        map.addLayer(twms);

... insead of using {visibility:false}. I guess there's no particular 
reason for that or did someone had an issue using {visibility:false} ?
