There is a comment in
(info "(elisp) Overlay Properties")
saying "please avoid using negative priority values as we have not yet
decided just what they should to".
I just have a case where I want to put a background overlay behind the
text. Something with low priority that should not disturb face text
properties, like those that for example hi-lock put on the text.
Since both the overlay I use and the faces normally used by hi-lock use
background colors it just is not possible to use hi-lock when you have
an overlay with a background color.
I suggest that we use overlay negative priority to let the overlay's
faces have lower priority then text property faces. Would that be a good
use?
