You are right about that, Eli. I was quite mistaken about it.
Funny (embarrassing), I could have sworn that I had seen face
`region' listed as a text property in `C-u C-x =', but I must not
have. And yes, I should have double-checked that.
Thank you for the correction. And that changes what I said about
moving `region' to an overlay taking some text-property behavior
away from Lisp users.
With that information, I now see no downside (so far) to moving
face `region' to an overlay. We just need to get the overlay
(by default) to appear to be on top of most other overlays (with
isearch as an exception).
