Can we agree that in an ideal world, a command that acts like an override would 
look like an override, and a command that acts like a tweak would look like a 
tweak?

Surely the command can not act as both in the same instance.  Could it be split 
into two commands, say \overrideBroken and \tweakBroken?  Could the before- and 
after-break values be aggregated, e.g. \override Grob.property = #(make-broken 
…)?
