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).
