When at the end of the overlay, the cursor is draw _after_ the
`after-string', unfortunately.  I'll send a bug report to RMS.

At the beginning of the overlay, the cursor is draw after the

I wanted to use `modification-hooks' and probably also
`insert-in-front-hooks' and `insert-behind-hooks' yesterday for
widget.el, but had to settle with `after-change-function' for
portability.
