Combining postevents not particular to individual noteheads via parallel
music?  I would be surprised if it is not documented somewhere, it can
be used on a lot more than just beaming.

It is not really a syntax issue how to interpret the resulting music
expressions, so it is not like a parser veto issue.  It just would lead
the "show \beaming by example how to do it" idea ad absurdum.  Granted,
one would not likely try to support parallel music for \beaming either
(one would need the partcombiner approach for that).  But it makes thing
work less than expected.
