+- Overlapping items: (#6512, #3909, #517)
+  - Added 'SetNextItemAllowOverlap()' (called before an item) as a replacement for using
+    'SetItemAllowOverlap()' (called after an item). This is roughly equivalent to using the
+    legacy 'SetItemAllowOverlap()' call (public API) + ImGuiButtonFlags_AllowOverlap (internal).
+  - Obsoleted 'SetItemAllowOverlap()': it didn't and couldn't work reliably since 1.89 (2022-11-15),
+    and relied on ambiguously defined design. Use 'SetNextItemAllowOverlap()' before item instead.
   - Renamed 'ImGuiTreeNodeFlags_AllowItemOverlap' to 'ImGuiTreeNodeFlags_AllowOverlap'.
   - Renamed 'ImGuiSelectableFlags_AllowItemOverlap' to 'ImGuiSelectableFlags_AllowOverlap'
   - Kept redirecting enums (will obsolete).
