Andrew and Sharon, et al,

To say that it can't do this "out of the box" is definitely true. To say 
that it just plain "can't" is definitely NOT true. I created a 
stylesheet that applied the irregularization (ha! I created a new word 
based on yours!) to just about everything--clefs, noteheads, stems, 
flags, slurs, etc--to give it that human-touched feel. It worked pretty 
well. There was one oddity I encountered in the process, though. When I 
irregularized the flags, I noticed that a flag is printed for EVERY note 
within the same chord! Crazy, I know. Sounds like an unnecessary thing 
if you ask me. At their default position, they are all right on top of 
each other so you don't notice, but when you

\override Flag.stencil = #(irregularize ... )

that is where you see the glyph multiplicity. Under "normal" usage, this 
isn't a problem. But still, it seems like something that isn't needed.

Unfortunately, I somehow erased that stylesheet that had a really nice, 
generic function so you could just do something like:

\handwrite Flag

and you'd have to do (sigh), but it isn't really that hard to create. 
It's definitely an interesting thought-experiment!

My 2 cents,
Abraham
