The original intent was for duplicate requests in most of these cases
to be ignored, so you could combine multiple identifiers into chords,
eg.

 vOne = { c8[ d] }
 vTwo = { e8[ f] }


forScore = \new Voice {
 << \vOne \vTwo >>
}

without this affecting the typesetting.

I would advise against overloading the meaning of existing constructs,
as it will have compatiblility implications.
