In GNU Emacs 19.25.95.2 (sparc-sun-sunos4.1.3, X toolkit) of Thu Sep  1 1994 on mink.cs.rochester.edu

It would be nice if overlays' insert-in-front-hooks (and insert-behind-hooks)
were called /after/ the insertion, so that they could act with knowledge
of what was inserted.  Alternatively, new hook functions could be
added that have this behavior.

For instance, I would like to be able to use insert-in-front-hooks to
prevent an overlay from expanding to include text inserted in front of
it, but this is currently impossible.

Also, what the arguments to the hook functions are could use to be more
clearly documented.
