ParenthesesItem.stencils relies on
"accidentals.leftparen"/"accidentals.rightparen".  The size is usually
done via ParenthesesItem.fontsize.
I often find this not convincing, especially for huge Parens.
Why not build the stencils using (improved) parenthesize-stencil?
Including sort of damping like in make-tie-stencil.
This could probably be done in a manner that allows the user to
override (line-)thickness and positions (as for Arpeggio).

WDYT?
