So actual timing would be context dependant. Another simultaneous 
expression could change time signature and that would change durations 
in this one.

This would be dangerous for those who expect a robust, hardwired 
duration as usual in lilypond code. Code is not visual, for good or bad.

You can always use macros for this.
