Aha!

It's a psychological mishap on my part.

I was thinking, "Create a union directory, add the writeable directory
to the beginning and the source directory to the end of the union
directory," rather than, "Unite the (new) writeable directory to the
beginning of the (old) source directory."

Which, in retrospect, makes the intent in the man page seem completely
obvious now.

Thanks!
