I've never used [once] but to me it seems that breaking compatibility
just for something "that would be nice" may do more harm than good to
people who have actually used [once] and who now would need to find
and change the patches where they did. 

Additionally I would find it confusing to have a [once] which would
actually be more like a [nonce] unless called with an argument.

Ciao
