I've attached a file which I hope will be helpful. Unfortunately, I needed to
duplicate rather a lot of code from scm\stencil.scm, since I make use of
functions which aren't public.
I've defined a command \parenthesizeSlur which takes a number of values. These
are: half-thickness (controlling the line-thickness), width, angularity (larger
values make the parentheses less rounded), and padding (controls the horizontal
distance of the parentheses from the slur).
I've defined (and used) \myParSlur with some reasonable values for the above
parameters.
To raise the slurs up a bit, I used \shape which is new to 2.16. You could
also override 'positions.
Let me know if this works for you or you need any further explanation.
