Whenever I notice I've done that, I add *NEXT to the first one too.  I
don't know why I leave it out in the first place, nor do I know why I
think it's important to _have_ it on the first one...

But it doesn't make a difference.  Overlay(name) has an implicit
position of 1; the first overlay(name:*next) also has an implicit
position of 1.
