For me, it looks like they have different number of arguments: 1+1 -- \set A.B = #C 1 -- \unset A.B 2+1 -- \override A.B #C = #D 2 -- \revert A.B #C It is easier to program if the degeneracy of names (i.e. commands with different number and/or type of arguments) is as low as possible. Grammatically, `override´ and `revert´ may not be best words, since actually the second argument is overridden or reverted.
