4 I think this is the hot ticket here. That way poly-c becomes... an
5 underlay, I guess? It will suit my needs and it only affects this one *lay.

7 I figured this was an "RTFM" type of problem, I just didn't punch the
8 right words into a search I reckon.

17 Your solution is a general one, where someone wants every overlay to be
18 lower priority than the default. My issue is specific to a single
19 overlay, so setting it's priority lower, and leaving everything else
20 unchanged, meets my needs more precisely. This way I can use other
21 overlays the way they're intended, while just making poly-c packages
22 take a back-seat.
