distinct.

How would one make a single command that can use both styles? Maybe
something like

\override Script.haydnturn-style = #'turn % default #'wiggle

?

It sounds like you're saying we don't know if they are semantically
distinct,
therefore we should implement commands as if they are.  I have no
objection to
that; I just want to understand the intent and encourage an
implementation that
suits it.

We don’t exactly know if \slashturn and \turn are semantically distinct
either … As stated in my last post above it looks like many of these
prall/mordent/turn/XXXturn symbols can replace each other in different
editions.
