I was thinking along the same lines.  It's simpler for users if they
can
indicate the (absolute) octave using ' and , in the way the always do.
 It would
be easy to see that the following would be the same:

   \absolute '' { a b c }
   \absolute s'' { a b c }
   \absolute { a'' b'' c'' }

There is no such thing as '' or s'' as a recognizable element in
LilyPond's syntax and there is not even a tangible representation of it
in Scheme.  I don't think that such a feature warrants both messing with
the parser as well as introducing new Scheme entities.  So at least for
me, those proposals are non-starters.
