Hmm. There's still a question of style, in lily-library.scm we do

(define-public UP 1)
(define-public DOWN -1)
(define-public CENTER 0)

perhaps we should do #UP and #DOWN iso. #up and #down ?

1) is #up likely to stop working in the future? It works now, so evidently there's
a lowercase to uppercase translation happening somewhere.
2) would it be faster to process #UP instead of #up (ie avoiding that translation) ?

If it would be slightly faster, then I'd say that we should change the definitions in ly/* , but we should leave the input/* snippets (ie the user-viewed stuff)
alone.  #up is easier to type than #UP.  :)
