Stefan (and others), where are we at with this?  Are there things that
must happen before a merge?

Is anybody able to use the noverlay branch for daily work?

I'm running the noverlay branch now and was observing an eassume
failure.  I recompiled without optimization and with Address Sanitizer
and ran Emacs under GDB, but haven't seen the crash since...  No crashes
so far, despite doing substantially the same things.  I am hoping it is
not an opt only bug.  If I isolate anything concrete I'll file a bug.
