That kind logic is already at the end of 
Time_signature::special_time_signature() now, but I don't see any way to use it 
for anything except 2/2 and 4/4.

I was arguing that as the use-cases get more specific, where you would want to 
pick a particular glyph, figuring out what options to set is harder than the 
direct approach:

  {\override Staff.TimeSignature.stencil = #ly:text-interface::print
   \override Staff.TimeSignature.text =
       \markup {\musicglyph #"timesig.C22" \musicglyph #"timesig.C22" }
   \time 4/2 b1 b1 }
