Overlays are objects, so even if they have identical properties, it's
easy to see where an overlay starts and stops.  For text properties, we
just use ad-hoc strategies like seeing whether the property we're
interested changes or not, and determine the start/stop of the region
based on that.

It's perhaps unfortunate that text property regions don't have more
"identity", but I guess it'd be difficult to change that now.
