Ah, ok.  I guess that in the past this was #t by default.

By "bottleneck", do you mean a speed bottleneck?  I find that it adds 
about
7% to the compile time.  IMO that's quite worth it[1], so I suggest 
that it be
turned on by default.  But as long as it's documented, it doesn't 
really matter
what the default is.

[1] admittedly it's only worth it in a score which has textScripts, and 
some
scores don't.

Yes, absolutely.  Or even have a general command that turned them all 
on?
\fastMusic = {
  \override Score.PaperColumn #'keep-inside-line = ##f
  etc
}
\qualityMusic = {
  \override Score.PaperColumn #'keep-inside-line = ##t
  etc
}


Alternately we could just have a few manual pages about the various
options you can turn on (or off) to fiddle with the speed/beauty ratio.
