They can overlap but there is no guarantee whatsoever that this will look
correctly. IOW, their relative Z-order is undefined and we never supported
this in the past and I don't see why should we do it in the future (of
course, if anyone wants to put in the necessary effort to implement proper
support for this on all platforms I wouldn't object but I'm absolutely not
going to do it myself).
