How is this so conceptually dissimilar to the divisi-staves situation
which introduced the remove-layer property? 

Staves are already removeable without consideration of other contexts
by setting remove-layer = ##f. The only change is that a specified
context can be retained throughout the normal life of the group.

I'm sorry, I am trying to progress this and respond to your
suggestions, but it would be nice to receive some proper criticism of
my (working) code which amounts to more than just "I don't like it".
