Hi, me too, I would not call it absolute then, because the octaves inside this command are note absolute anymore. Am I right that the proposal is an easier way of writing \transpose c <octave> { } ? Why not just advertise \transpose c c' in the docs? I would consider it clear and short enough.
And I would not change the names of \relative but rather invent a new one (like \octavate – just as a (non-convincing) example from the top of my head), if at all.
