Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the existing API for making a view ignore overlaps and its layout tests; define how a pair-specific overlap rule is configured, then verify that the named pair is allowed while unrelated overlaps are rejected.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Right now you can only specify that you want a view to ignore any views overlapping it. However, it would be useful to say that you only allow an overlap of 2 specific views. This way you can catch any unwanted overlaps.
