   I think (as you said) the name is wrong -- `find' implies that it does
   some sort of searching, when really it's just the same as
   get-char-property with an additional return value -- why not just use
   the same name as the C code:  get-char-property-and-overlay?

   Also, you don't need to use alloca, you can just use a stack variable:

I agree that the changes you suggest are improvements.  Thanks.

Sincerely,

Luc.
