As far as I know, it has never been documented or demonstrated. The
previous
support in the parser was more likely than not added because the lexer
historically did not support fractions in all modes. That was changed
about
half a year ago without complaints.
Well, "half a year ago" is quite the exaggeration. Looking for an
actual commit, I can only find
commit 0757febe2084fd8507334987b6f6b524888247c7

Issue 2530: Use fractions rather than Scheme pairs for
\scaleDuration, timeS
I thought I remembered also earlier work on this (and I meddled a _lot_
with the parser regarding fractions), but apparently I had not
previously messed with the _lexer;s_ view of fractions.
So it has just been version 2.15.39 when 2/4 turned into a LilyPond
fraction rather than a numeric expression even in INITIAL state.
