it depends ... we have none: no entry at all, knockout: some nil entry, 
overprint: special entry

the thing is that when we have globally overprint on, we need s local 
knockout :

\startoverprint
   ... \bgroup ...
   \startknockout
     ...
   \stopknockout
   ... \egroup ...
\stopoverprint

is nicer than

\startoverprint
   ... \bgroup ...
   \stopoverprint
     ...
   \startoverprint
   ... \egroup ...
\stopoverprint
