I thought that some people _did_ want that behavior.  There is
some discussion about whether or not they _should_ want that
behavior, but if it's easy to accommodate them, I'd rather that
lilypond allow people to shoot themselves in the foot if they
specifically request it.

That said, since this only changes something in scheme, presumably
any user could redefine that function in their .ly file, thereby
getting the old (possibly ridiculously bad) behavior?  If so, then
I have no objection to pushing the change now.
