The reason I'm interested in \everyeof as well is for using \scantokens
in a context such as:

\def\tempa#1{%
  \begingroup
    % Some catcode changes
    \everyeof{\noexpand}%
    \endlinechar-1\relax
    \edef\tempb{\scantokens{#1}}%
  \expandafter\endgroup
  \expandafter\def\expandafter\tempc\expandafter{\tempb}%
}

which fails without the \everyeof setting. That I know of there is no
way to "bundle up" the various components, so without access to
\everyeof, \scantokens is not much use (at least to me).
