I rarely use this possibility, but it's very nice to have numbers, etc
in identifiers for things like:

"des:7.5+.9+" =
\markup {
  \fret-diagram-verbose #`(
    (mute 6)
    (place-fret 5 7 ,#{ \markup \fontsize #-4 3 #})
    (place-fret 4 8 ,#{ \markup \fontsize #-4 \with-flat 7 #})
    (place-fret 3 8 ,#{ \markup \fontsize #-4 \with-sharp 9 #})
    (place-fret 2 9 ,#{ \markup \fontsize #-4 \with-sharp 5 #})
    (mute 1)
  )
}

\with-flat is a custom-markup-command outputting nice formatted "b7"

Wouldn't want to miss it.
