Subject: Remove delete-overlay?
Date: Wed, 28 Feb 2007 22:47:20 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <45E5F868.7000108@gmail.com> (raw)

I have some times looked at the doc string for delete-overlay to 
convince myself that the overlay is not deleted by delete-overlay. It is 
just removed from the buffer.

The doc string does not tell that part of the story however. It would be 
nice if it did.

Perhaps the function should be called remove-overlay instead since it 
just removes the overlay from the buffer. But my English is to weak to 
tell if this is better. And delete-char deletes an "a" but "a" continues 
to exist and I find nothing strange about that ...
