Indeed.  But if you come up with a solution, maybe it could be 
called like the force-accidental is, with a character after it, so 
that there'd be a force-accidental (bf!), suggest-accidental (bf?) 
and a hide-accidental (bf& or bf@ or some other character)

Good luck. I wish I could help with it but I don't know any scheme. :(
