I'm not the OP, but I think the point is to provide
different behaviors for overlays, just as we now
have the original behavior (rebaptized as :extend)
and the new behavior that doesn't extend.
It's not about text selection or defining the region.
It's about overlay properties. That's my understanding,
anyway.
