There is no such thing as '' or s'' as a recognizable element in
LilyPond's syntax and there is not even a tangible representation of it
in Scheme.  I don't think that such a feature warrants both messing with
the parser as well as introducing new Scheme entities.  So at least for
me, those proposals are non-starters.
