@defun get-char-property position prop &optional object
This function is like @code{get-text-property}, except that it checks
overlays first and then text properties.  @xref{Overlays}.

The argument @var{object} may be a string, a buffer, or a window.  If it
is a window, then the buffer displayed in that window is used for text
properties and overlays, but only the overlays active for that window
are considered.  If @var{object} is a buffer, then all overlays in that
buffer are considered, as well as text properties.  If @var{object} is a
string, only text properties are considered, since strings never have
overlays.
@end defun

@defun get-char-property-and-overlay position prop &optional object
This is like @code{get-char-property}, but gives extra information
about the overlay that the property value comes from.

The argument @var{object} may be a string, a buffer, or a window.  If
it is a window, then the buffer displayed in that window is used for
text properties and overlays, but only the overlays active for that
window are considered.  If @var{object} is a buffer, then overlays in
that buffer are considered first, in order of decreasing priority,
followed by the text properties.  If @var{object} is a string, only
text properties are considered, since strings never have overlays.
