There may be More Than One Way(tm) to do things.
I'm just investigating a path, which may lead nowhere.

I can't agree however with the argument: potentially
unreadable/dangerous/whatever. This feature is intended to ease the
creation of commands (by using more LilyPond syntax and less Scheme),
which in turn make your lilypond score lighter, thus more
readable.
