I thought `extent's were more like overlays, except optionally
persistent.  No?

In any case, perhaps you're right that text-properties should be
optionally buffer-specific, but that doesn't mean it's the proper thing
to get rid of the distinction between text-properties and overlays.

Overlays are distinct _objects_ that can be manipulated as such, and
lend their properties to the underlying buffer they're in, whereas
text-properties are not independent of the text at all.

These very different interfaces are both useful in different circumstances.
