Yes, but if the region overlay will have priority infinity, the 
inconsistency will "be gone" in the opposite way from how 15618 was 
resolved.

Which will make the related feature of `easy-kill' much harder (maybe 
impossible) to implement.

If the region overlay will have a high but finite and documented 
priority, that would be much better.
