Above you said "a buffer ... could have a 'window property".  I don't
know of such a property of a buffer.  I've been always talking about
overlays with a 'window property.  Overlays belong to a buffer.  Note
that a buffer can have two or more overlays with different window
properties.  Hence the buffer's text may appear differently when it is
simultaneously displayed in two windows.  When I remove the 'window
property from an overlay the overlay should appear in all windows
displaying the buffer the overlay belongs to.
