Yes, to speed up overlays algorithmically, we'd want to implement
them with some kind of tree. If we could share some of the code with
the text properties's interval tree that would be great, indeed.

I've been tempted as well, but I'm not sure it'd be much of
an improvement. You'd end up with many trees, so might need
a hash-table or some other tree to map text-property names to the
corresponding interval tree.
