At the current point of time, we are bikeshedding.  Please note that the
implementation of this feature does not depend on "naked" rhythms, it
should work just the same as

\beaming { c8 [ c c c ] c [ c c c c c ] }

so if people care about the details, they can significantly increase the
impact of their opinion by writing the implementation.
