That one wasn't my idea.  I merely reimplemented it in order to make it
work reliably with predictable semantics without putting too much of a
downer on performance.  It wasn't used heavily before partly because it
was a bit hit-and-miss once you tried combining it with reverts (and
since the default for \override is to revert before setting, this does
not exactly happen rarely).
