Subject: Re: Remove delete-overlay?
Date: Thu, 01 Mar 2007 03:14:04 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <E1HMgQO-0002aX-Jq@fencepost.gnu.org> (raw)

I have some times looked at the doc string for delete-overlay to
convince myself that the overlay is not deleted by delete-overlay. It is
just removed from the buffer.
The doc string does not tell that part of the story however. It would be
nice if it did.
Would someone please spell this out?
(Note that it is impossible for a Lisp function to make an object
cease to exist. As long as there are pointers to it, it will exist.)
