[gdal-dev] Warped VRT and overviews

Hi all,

It's been my understanding that GDAL's RasterIO (most current version) uses
overviews when available, implicitly. Is this also true for VRTs and warped
VRTs or is not true?

I ask because 1) in reading from a warped VRT (using vsicurl) I'm not
seeing use of the overviews in the GeoTIFF source that surface in the VRT,
and 2) in reading the source of gdalwarp_lib.cpp I see that it has its own
code for navigating overview levels and does not rely on any implicit
overviews.

Thanks in advance,
