Well, sort of the idea was that you could take all the stuff commonly  
written in
global = { ... }
and instead of distributing it through everywhere, just do the equivalent of
\layout { \global }

Now I tried it for real.

Problem 1: don't forget you'll need \midi { \global } as well, or at least  
the \time settings won't make it to the midi.  Kinda surprising but obvious  
if you think about it.

Problem 2: \partial.  Probably should be rewritten to use an  
elements-callback like
\time does in order to tunnel through in a similar manner.

Not a showstopper, but disrupting the universal usefulness.  Any other  
wrinkles people can think of?
