That's not my view. LilyPond is meant to be extensible in Scheme, not in 
Postscript. There is no point in adding interfaces for doing stuff that 
we don't want to encourage in the first place.

The sledgehammer is local, it doesn't affect anything outside of the 
\markup block (apart from LilyPond's global list of fonts that should be 
loaded).

Best,
