Re: Invalid overrides in ly/gregorian.ly?

[Trevor Daniels]

It looks like extra-X-extent and extra-Y-extent were removed from the 
calculation of a grob extent in lily/grob.cc by committish 
c9b87b059ea73d9adb2b416e30c78e9340af8af2.  This is dated 21 Oct 2005, so 
these properties have been ineffective for quite a while!

I can't find them used anywhere else.

The extra-spacing-width/height properties seem to do much the same as 
extra-X/Y-extent used to do.
