If we start doing this, that would solve the several of the issues
raised. It would move a bit away from the `lets remove all red tape'
path that we (I?) embarked on previously.
There are two commonly used ways of grouping function parameters,
instead of
\relative { a \parenthesize b c }
we could have something* like
(relative { a (parenthesize b) c })
relative ({a parenthesize (b) c})
I don't think there are easy ways to combine or drop ( and }, ie have
something like
{relative a b c}
foo = relative
{foo a b c}
Or the C-style equivalents.
