I believe this approach, especially for new users, is less abstract
than defining a 'syntactic' octave position before entering real
music. I think it's a good idea.

One rationale is to stop the "distribution" of the information for
the first pitch to potentially quite separate places, like being
able to write
\new Staff \relative {
\key aes \major
<< % Voice one
{ c''2 aes4. bes8 }
...
instead of the previous
\new Staff \relative c'' {
\key aes \major
<< % Voice one
{ c2 aes4. bes8 }
...
For me, everything which leads to a better structure is a good thing,
so I support this change.
