Your table helps, but I think it's important to use the proposed
operations, not what the current code does.  Here's my version:

   Set:            Field => Current
   Save:           Field => Current, Saved

   Get Current:    Current => Field
   Get Saved:      Saved => Field
   Get Default:    Standard => Field

I think these names (and behaviors) make a _lot_ of sense; the
consistency is very appealing, and should help people learn the
meanings easily.
