\hide and \no are for different purposes (so far, \hide has been
unflayed by bikeshedding), but indeed reversal has not been taken into
account for our discussion so far.

Given existing naming choices, \hide/\unHide is an obvious pairing.
\omit/unOmit would be logical but awkward, I'd lead towards
\omit/\remit.  \no has no good reversion, and the pairing \no
DynamicText / \yes DynamicText is too awful to contemplate.

So shall we conclude this round of bikeshedding with changing back to
\omit and adding \unHide and \remit here?  Those would be \reverts, not
usable as a \tweak.  \remit can be used for reverting other stencil
overrides, so one could also call it \reStencil or \restencil, but I am
not sure that people will make the connection to \omit then, its most
likely use case.
