Whiteout staff lines behind beams

All,

When a beam group (especially 1/16 or shorter) crosses a staff line, it can create some annoying skinny triangles that can be visually distracting.

Here's what I mean:

And here's an example of what the solution might look like:

Here's the snippet to reproduce it:

%<----------------------------

\version "2.24"
\language "english"

\relative {
  \clef bass
  \time 4/4
  f8 g16 a b c df e f e df c b a g f |
  e8 f16 g a b c df e df c b a g f e |
}

%<----------------------------

Is there a way to turn the stencil into a composite of the original with a big block of whiteout that follows the entire group's outer skyline so it hides the staff lines? Would be a nice feature, IMO. I know the stems can be "frenched", but would be cool if the staff lines could be instead.

Best,
Abraham
