Re: How do I give an overlay a priority lower to that of hl-line-mode?

Alternatives:
- use text-properties instead of overlays.
- undocumented and tentatively added in recentish Emacsen you can use
  a priority of the form (nil . -100).  Which means: normal priority nil
  in general, but priority -100 when the normal priority rules (which
  look at the relative size of overlays) don't have a preference
  use -100.
- use a negative priority.
