You are exaggerating, aren't you?  With this prerequisite, very useful
stuff like `q' would have never been implemented.  It took David a
long time to generalize it, but IMHO it was worth the trouble.

Perhaps we should start differently: Instead of making ad-hoc syntax
suggestions, let's collect experienced user reports about the most
annoying LilyPond syntax issues.  The stress lies on *user*, not
developer.  Then parser experts can have a look whether changes are
possible and useful.
