New issue 1320 by v.villenave: Enhancement: user-customizable barlines  
through a Scheme interface.
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=1320

This feature was suggested by Neil (can't find the discussion he's  
referring to, though):

"""
we already have too many obsolete barline styles defined in bar-line.cc.

When I added  \bar ":|.:", it was suggested a better solution for the
more esoteric types would be to have a scheme interface to allow users
to add custom barlines easily.
"

This could allow for such things as \bar ":.|:", which a user found in a  
1860 Brahms edition.

[Having been fiddling with this sort of things in the past, I'm thinking it  
may be suitable for a Frog.]
