\begin{methoddesc}{overlay}{destwin\optional{, sminrow, smincol,
dminrow, dmincol, dmaxrow, dmaxcol}}
Overlay the window on top of \var{destwin}. The windows need not be
the same size, only the overlapping region is copied. This copy is
non-destructive, which means that the current background character
does not overwrite the old contents of \var{destwin}.
To get fine-grained control over the copied region, the second form
of \method{overlay} can be used. \var{sminrow} and \var{smincol} are
the upper-left coordinates of the source window, and the other variables
mark a rectangle in the destination window.
