It is meant as a handy shorthand, you can type
this_is_one_word8
_4 _ _
_ _ _
etc, which is more convenient and readable than
"this is one word"8
" "4 " " " "
Now that we have \addlyrics, maybe there would be less reason for the
latter.

Except when the \ is preceeded by an even number of \
Anyway, suggestions for lily/lexer.ll:
{LYRICS} {
/* ugr. This sux. */
String s (YYText ());
[..]
are welcome.
