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.


Sorry, I should have written "A buffer that is not currently displayed IN ANY WINDOW could also have AN OVERLAY WITH a 'window property...".

This was supposed to be the answer to your question "Why check all buffers?" - I still do not understand what you mean here. Did you want to write all WINDOWS?
