In tab, lilypond draws a double stem for half notes. This is done

I’m curious about these double stems. Does anyone know if they are a
common/standard way to indicate half notes in tab? I searched the web
but didn’t turn up any documentation on this.
I am responsible for the double stems in tablature, but I did not invent
them ;-)
AFAIK, there is no common standard for tablature with stems.
I found the double-stemmed variant in some examples and found it quite
more readable as – for instance – circles drawn around the fret numbers
to indicate half or whole notes (this looks even more ugly with chords).
Is there a way to turn this feature off so half note stems are drawn
with a single line like quarter notes?
I was looking into the source code and it seems that for completeness
one should also revert the Stem.X-extent:
