I'm not even sure that region highlighting is implemented as an
overlay; it may be a text property, and, correct me if I'm wrong,
overlays always have higher priority, regardless of their 'priority
property. Is there some way you know of giving the region
highlighting higher priority?
Somebody more familiar with the internals of region highlighting will
have to answer the last question. I did not look at those internals,
but I believe that the region highlighting is just a display feature
and neither implemented a a text property nor as an overlay. Text
properties are for longer lasting stuff. If it were a text property,
activating the region would mark the buffer modified.
Sincerely,
Luc.
