You are exaggerating, aren't you? With this prerequisite, very useful stuff like `q' would have never been implemented. It took David a long time to generalize it, but IMHO it was worth the trouble. Perhaps we should start differently: Instead of making ad-hoc syntax suggestions, let's collect experienced user reports about the most annoying LilyPond syntax issues. The stress lies on *user*, not developer. Then parser experts can have a look whether changes are possible and useful.
