Redefining atpage should not be necessary, it is already defined in
the core as “à la page”.

@native speakers: Is it “on page 3” or “at page 3”? I think “at
page” sounds weird. Either I remove my redefinition or it should be
corrected in the core.

Label texts are a general context mechanism and are set per
language, so all macros in all modules display consistent strings.

I'm not sure if that makes sense given the current commands. The
referencing commands are not interchangeable, use different syntax
and behave different.

I have in mind that such functionality exists. My guess that
\setupversion[temporary] should do the job was unfortunately wrong.
