This is implementation: the Voice context is created when the
notes/rests/commands (or rather: Requests) are processed.  I think it
is perfectly legal to have
\score { \notes
        \times 2/3 <
                \type Staff = sa { ... }
                \type Staff = sb { ... }
        >
}

If \times would create a Voice, this would cause creation of 3 staffs.
