[Golist] OverlapMonitor and "locking" a tween

[Moses Gunesch]

I dunno that's a tough one... personally I wouldn't guess that  
anything is a common issue yet, I haven't seen many people dabbling in  
manager mechanics so far. I'm excited to see what you come up with  
though and once I get this writing thing out of the way I'll help you  
debug if need be.
