Alright, if it's really "temporary" solution, that could change in
the future, I'll save my notes how to do it on my own and wait, maybe
better implementation in the future will provide option for this.

Yes and no.  The problem with this, is that numeration of contents
will be single-sided, I had to do this...

...
@end titlepage

@evenheading @thispage @| @|
@oddheading @| @| @thispage

@summarycontents
@contents

@headings double
...

... to get it correctly.  But of course, thanks for the tip.

That's exactly my point, not the doubling of chapter name, but
clearing the heading (except page number), just because it looks
better.

Well, I was thinking about removing @thistitle ONLY from new chapter
pages, but since you proposed removing it completely, I can support
that.  Maybe temporary you could do the former, with the same method
as for @thischapterheading.  Then we would wait for other opinions.
