Did this get dropped? I too would like to see the possibility of having an
overlay that has higher priority than the region. One use case is
highlighting a line within the region.
[Please don't suggest other ways to draw attention to the line, here (e.g.
display-table, fringe). That is just an example. I would like to be able to
have an overlay with a higher priority than the region - I'm not interested
in this example per se.]
