Imagining myself in the position of a user looking at a black box, I would not
have much respect for a developer trying to make me believe that LilyPond needs
more information than "\volta 2 \fine" to determine that the work ends there.
I don't want to be that developer.
I won't rule it out, but it's not my first or second choice.
