Wouldn't solve my fundamental issue (having to provide a definition in 
the input files) but looks good nevertheless.

But also in this case I would come back and suggest including functions like

originalBreak =
#(define-music-function (parser location)()
  ( #{ \tag #'keep-original-breaks \break #} ))

in LilyPond so they are available without having to put them in private 
libraries.
