I think this is the hot ticket here.  That way poly-c becomes... an 
underlay, I guess?  It will suit my needs and it only affects this one *lay.

I figured this was an "RTFM" type of problem, I just didn't punch the 
right words into a search I reckon.

Your solution is a general one, where someone wants every overlay to be 
lower priority than the default.  My issue is specific to a single 
overlay, so setting it's priority lower, and leaving everything else 
unchanged, meets my needs more precisely.  This way I can use other 
overlays the way they're intended, while just making poly-c packages 
take a back-seat.

Thanks everyone.
