It's used by outline.el (it's where it comes from, as a matter of fact)
and IIRC I've changed a few other similar packages to use it rather than
roll their own.

Fundamentally, these packages don't care about overlays, they just want
to place properties, so they use overlays but would rather use
text-properties (except they need/want to know which properties are
theirs so they can safely remove them).
