Interesting.  Thank you (I=E2=80=99m unfortunately not very friend with sea=

engines): that also raises altogether the question of tables of contents.

But that doesn=E2=80=99t answer the question: why =E2=80=9Cdoesn=E2=80=99t =
it exist=E2=80=9D? shouldn=E2=80=99t
these functions be mainlined, if legally permitted?

Btw, since I read overlays create slowness proportional to their
numbers, and that=E2=80=99s surely a lot of overlays, wouldn=E2=80=99t it b=
e better
using text properties?  these support `display' as well, and, I checked,
even for strings of different length: is there a particular reasons they
wouldn=E2=80=99t work as well?
