I've traditionally been opposed to adding more such scripts to the
LilyPond tree, mostly because I spent way too much time trying to
understand what existing and entirely undocumented ones were doing and
how they were broken in a zillion ways. My take is that the LilyPond
repository must only contain what is needed to build and maintain
LilyPond. IMHO a convenience script (as far as I understand it) does
not fall into this category, and I would vote *not* to include it.
