I wanted to provide it as a general functionality - you could use this in many situations, for example for adding a process variable temporarily, changing a morphic extension temporarily, or maybe even to adjust a preference temporarily ... Where temporary, just for example, might mean for the duration of a test execution (which, of course, might be debugged, so is not necessarily run as an atomic operation). In all these situations, the entire system needs to be kept running without introducing any unintended sandbox effects. :-)

Absolutely. Depends on what your deeper purpose is.
