Hi Gerd,

can you make the warning a bit more user friendly and add a hint, why 
this usually is not a good idea to use overlap>0 in combination with 
keep-complete=true?
I think people that doesn't follow the dev list won't have an easy 
chance to find out why it is better to use overlap=0 with 
keep-complete=true. And there are many old threads of the time before 
keep-complete was introduced pointing out that overlap *must* be set.

Thanks!
