I would say there is symmetric value with 'p' as a pseudo pitch, so 
maybe not throw out the idea altogether.

%%
{ a4. b8 c4 r0 2 b } % '0' breaks up the parsing without changing 
duration
{ a4. b8 c4 r p2 b } % 'p' achieves a similar goal but regarding pitch
%%

If both of these patterns could be accepted, then it would give users a 
choice of how they prefer to input music.  I, for one, would find myself 
using 'p' over '0', but others may find the exact opposite working for 
their needs.
