You are right. It was pretty easy to convert from overlays to extents.
In fact, quite a few functions got significantly simpler when I replaced
big hairy loops with map-extents or extent-at. Here's the latest
version, then. Again, would a few people try it out? It is
significantly different from the version of hideshow we are currently
shipping, so trying it out on corner cases to see if it explodes is a
good idea.
