Please don't use push/pop. These are computer science terms for queues, not 
terms any non-programmer would ever use or understand (to be honest, even I 
have to think twice which of the two appends to and which removes from the 
queue). Override/revert on the other hand are also used in colloquial language 
and so way easier to understand for non-programmers.

Cheers,
Reinhold
