My curiosity about the meaning of a cons cell priority is what pushed me
to find and respond to this bug, so I guess that would count as one
question.
Since the region overlay is a very common overlay, I think it is
important enough to at least have a passing statement about its priority
value type in the documentation. Even something like "For example, some
overlays use a cons cell priority (PRIMARY . SECONDARY), where SECONDARY
is used as a tie-breaker if the PRIMARY priorities and boundaries of the
overlays are equal." would be nice.
