Yes, i understand it (thanks to your explanation!).  I meant to
describe what i would think if i hadn't participated in the
discussion.

ok, let's just have a note in the commit message.

Following Werner's advice, i drop all my objections to this patch.
Let's have it included; we can discuss changes to the stack interface
(i.e. whether \override should be just a push) separately in the
future.

LGTM!

thanks for your patience, David!  and for your watchfulness, Werner!
all the best,
