OK, for music functions and variable assignments.  Then, I think,
\temporary is indeed just fine.

I think that we either need a consistent use if \push and \pop, or we
should refrain using it.  Given that the Scheme functions handling the
stack are not mapped one-to-one to user commands, as you've shown in a
previous mail, I think we should avoid \push and \pop.
