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.
