Somehow I had thought that the noverlay branch had long since been merged with master but when I recently tried to find evidence for that merge, I couldn't find any. So, is the new overlay functionality part of Emacs master (heavily renamed perhaps), or if not, is the merge still planned? If so, is there anything I could do to help speed up the merge process (as of yet I don't have any experience with the overlay mechanism or Emacs' C internals though) thanks, Sebastian
