I'm not sure I agree that it would be so unlikely to know that overlaps

expecting, nor do I want, overlaps.
Sure, but in that case you'd be better off using the faster 'offset'
function. Or do you mean every instance of 'romeo' in the play itself?
There I can see why you'd want to set it to false for speed.
My point isn't really whether pOverlaps should default to true or false,
but that you need detailed knowledge of the corpus of data before
calling the function.
If you're looking for 'romeo' in pText, would you set pOverlaps to true
or to false?
