That's a consistent naming scheme, and \temporary is a perfect match 
with \once, so I'm all for that name. \once changes the value for one 
step, \temporary until it is explicitly \revert'ed (und unfortunately 
\override alone permanantly overwrites rather than overrides).

Fully agree, \temporary was really missing.
