Plus \once and now \temporary.  I agree this menagerie is going to be 
far more confusing to users than the occasional unexpected result after 
calling \crossStaff or \harmonicByFret - which no one has ever noticed. 
Users get quite confused enough with just \override, \revert, \set, \unset
and \tweak.

We're going too far in this direction now.
