Hmm, suggests an idea. Would a new property .reset: or similar work
here? Logic:

 - Order does not matter: just accumulate whatever is applied.
 - key .reset: zaps *everything* (could also be called key .delete:
   or key .clear).

I doubt anyone is currently relying on the behaviour I set up
originally, at least in part as I forgot to document it!
