bug fix lispref node "Finding Overlays"

[Emilio Lopes]

the example at the end of the referred node seems to be bogus.  Here is
a possible fix:

	* display.texi (Finding Overlays): fixed `find-overlay-prop' in
	example of `next-overlay-change'.

!   Here's an easy way to use @code{next-overlay-change} to search for the
! next character which gets a non-@code{nil} @code{happy} property from
  either its overlays or its text properties (@pxref{Property Search}):
  
  @smallexample
  (defun find-overlay-prop (prop)
    (save-excursion
      (while (and (not (eobp))
!                 (not (get-char-property (point) 'happy)))
        (goto-char (min (next-overlay-change (point))
!                       (next-single-property-change (point) 'happy))))
      (point)))
  @end smallexample
  
  @node Width
  @section Width

!   Here's a function which uses @code{next-overlay-change} to search
! for the next character which gets a given property @code{prop} from
  either its overlays or its text properties (@pxref{Property Search}):
  
  @smallexample
  (defun find-overlay-prop (prop)
    (save-excursion
      (while (and (not (eobp))
!                 (not (get-char-property (point) prop)))
        (goto-char (min (next-overlay-change (point))
!                       (next-single-property-change (point) prop))))
      (point)))
  @end smallexample
  
+   Now one can simply write, for example:
+ 
+ @smallexample
+ (find-overlay-prop 'happy)
+ @end smallexample
+ 
  @node Width
  @section Width

This change is good, and I will install it.  But instead of this

+   Now one can simply write, for example:

I'll use this:

  Now you can search for a @code{happy} property like this:
