Your extension makes only very limited sense for scores reproducing the
"original breaks" of a single canonical original document. That's a
rather specific situation.
Now I start to see your misunderstanding.
If the breaks in _one_ version of a score
are so important, why is that the _only_ conceivable version of the
score with relevant breaks?
Where did I say that such a version is the only conceivable version of the
score?
And if that is the only conceivable
version, why would we put the breaks in conditionally?
Because one wouldn't want to *finally* produce a version of the score with
the breaks of the original score. If that's my interest (which then would
actually be a "rather specific situation") I can simply use hardcoded
\break commands.
The whole point of these conditional commands is to have a tool (maybe you
can call it an editing mode) to match LilyPond's output with the *one*
version of the score I'm copying from, that is the one I have on my
desktop in front of me.
I'd add my voice to saying that I could see how this would be useful. When
transcribing any piece of older music (renaissance in my case) it would be
convenient to keep the original line breaks to aid checking, and then get
rid of them to produce an appropriate newer version.
I'm less sure that having to \include a file is the best way to do it,
though.
