> Rename set-temporary-overlay-map -> set-transient-map

My impression was that whenever a function was renamed, it was standard
procedure to keep the old name as an alias and mark it obsolete, to only
be removed at some time in the future?

(define-obsolete-function-alias 'set-temporary-overlay-map
'set-transient-map "24.4")

?
