Is it possible for overlay A to have a higher priority than B yet for the face (or any arbitrary property) property to not override B's? If not, would that be a reasonable feature request? Currently I made a workaround where I copy overlay A, lower its priority, and then put the face on that overlay. It would be nice if that wasn't necessary.
