[R-sig-Geo] Replacement for old overlay() function in package sp

[Rainer M Krug]

Hi

I have an old script which uses the overlay() function of the package
sp. I saw that it was removed in commit 1678, but can I safely replace
it with the function over()?

It was used as follow:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
sp <- readShapePoly(...)
grd <- readRAST(...)
grd[[2]] <- overlay(grd, sp)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Thanks,

Rainer
