I'm OK with whatever name you want.
FWIW, the rationale for `until-move' is that it is consistent with its tag, and
the set of tags is consistent. Each tag describes when the current locus is
highlighted/unhighlighted.
IOW, it is not about the overlay being persistent; it is about the
(un)highlighting of the current locus, whether and when that happens.
These are the descriptions I sent:
(number :tag "Highlight locus for specified time")
(const :tag "Highlight locus until move" until-move)
(const :tag "Highlight locus until move or next command" t)
(const :tag "Do not highlight locus" nil)
(const :tag "Indicate locus using fringe arrow" fringe-arrow))
