In the general case, no overlays are deleted when killing a buffer.

But re-builder adds a cleanup function `reb-kill-buffer' to
`kill-buffer-hook' to do that, because killing the re-builder buffer
should remove the overlays it has created in some *other* buffer.

To me, that is quite plausible.  Or do I get something wrong?
