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.
