I don't understand what you propose.
My advice was general software-design advice based on a hasty consideration of your post, so I'm not really surprised.
To give a different example, let's look at make-dotted-bar-line (afaik it's your code). There you have a `making-span-bar?'-condition, obviously you want a span bar a little different than bar line.
Yes, I remember that there were cases where the dashes didn't meet well, but I don't remember the details.
a) If I implement (pretty-print grob) there, I always get BarLine, never something else, regardless where I place that.
In that case, I think you will need to pass more information into the function from above or find a heuristic that works better.
c) the condition itself may fail, see /input/regression/non-centered-bar-lines.ly for an example, or try to set bar-extent to an interval not crossing zero.
That's why the comments call it a heuristic.
Because of b) I tried to patch make-dotted-bar-line, alas I found no condition to apply the patched functionality to span bars only. Thus I ask if there is such a condition at all. Or how it could be coded.
I'm not sure, and I have to be very motivated to read Scheme, which I am not at the moment. Sorry.
