      I understand. I would say it is unimplemented not for ethical
      reasons,
      nor even for technical reasons, but simply resource reasons —
      unlike most
      of the other problems that are discussed frequently (grace
      synchronization,
      cross-voice spanners), it isn't made hard by the way LilyPond is
      designed,
      it's just a big chunk of work that needs people with all of time,
      motivation and competence to tackle it.
