Either I don't understand what you're proposing, or you aren't talking
about the same thing as the rest of us. How do you let the person
printing the score control what accidentals are printed without
providing a syntax for doing so?
The (^) syntax is precisely a method for the person who wants to print
a sharp in parentheses to specify this. Whether the sharp is one that
the program would figure out to add or not. What's your idea for how
to get this?
