Further to that: note that PostScript is a Turing complete language.
ImageMagick invokes Ghostscript, which is a complete implementation of it. You
can do fun things like generating fractals:

So like Lilypond, abcm2ps+convert can have arbitrary running time, by way of
the postscript injection feature. 

What I'd like to see from a Lilypond extension is:

* Coding style and security as per the relevant pages on mediawiki.org
* Generally good programming practice, like not pretending to be a math
extension as in attachment 1141
* Optionally, multiple input formats via the *2ly programs distributed with
Lilypond
* Optionally, Ogg Vorbis output and OggHandler integration
* Optionally, remote rendering, say via Http::get() to a remote instance of
MediaWiki. This would allow for a fixed resource pool, alleviating DoS
concerns.
