How do I switch back to the default arrow tip style?

Question

I know that I can change the used arrow tip style globally with

\tikzset{>=stealth}

Now I am wondering how to switch back to the default (which is exactly the end of TeX's standard arrow, according to the documentation page 39) locally. Where the problem is: How is the default style called?

In the documentation it is referred to as Classical TikZ Rightarrow (on page 1020). On page 184 three styles are listed: "For standard arrow tip kinds, like Stealth or Latex or Bar...". While >=stealth and >=latex are working fine, >=bar and >=classical tikz rightarrow cause a ! Package pgf Error: Unknown arrow tip kind. This error is also caused by the syntax shown on page 185: -{Classical TikZ Rightarrow[length=5mm]}.

I would prefer not to use an additional tikz library and I think that it should be possible, because it is the default.

The default arrow is called to. I don't know if this is stated somewhere in the documentation, I've found it thanks to a lucky guess.

\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage{tikz}

\begin{document}
\tikzset{>=stealth}
\begin{tikzpicture}
  \draw[red, ->] (0,0) -- +(1,0);
  \draw[green, -stealth] (0,.5) -- +(1,0);
  \draw[blue, -to] (0,1) -- +(1,0);
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

Result:
