To answer Carl, yes! To put 2 notes instead of 3, I would put "2:3",
which means "2 instead of 3" or "2 for 3". As David Rogers said, it
fits what is printed, or what would be printed if the whole ratio was
there.
Also, is there a reason why the function wasn't named simply \tuplet ?

The way the syntax is now, is (in musical terms) the opposite of
what's printed. Having the syntax match the print is likely to be
easier to learn for at least the majority, if not everyone. (The
way the syntax is now, it makes mathematical sense; which is nice
- but I don't think it serves a practical purpose.)
