Thanks João.

Going to back to the original discussion is there a reason
before-strings in overlays don't respect priorities? I realise it's
documented but I'm more curious about the why than the what? Was there a
use case for these properties in overlays to not be overridable (which
from what I understand is the reason for this conflict between hl-line and
overlay annotations is happening).
