I wonder if there is any way we can avoid the flag, and just make this happen automatically when appropriate? nditer has too many "unbreak-me" flags already. Are there any cases where we *don't* want the copy-if-overlap behavior? Traditionally overlap has triggered undefined behavior, so there's no backcompat issue, right? -n
