Suggestion: Use non powers of 2 for tuplets

Hello!

Currently Lilypond only supports powers of 2 for specifying duration. Could we 
use the other numbers for common divisions?

For example: We could use 3 for 2*3/2, 5 for 4*5/4, 6 for 4*3/2, 7 for 8*7/8, 
9 for 8*9/8, 10 for 8*5/4, 11 for 8*11/8, 12 for 8*3/2 and so on.

This would be quite useful, especially for the divisions of three (*3/2), 
because stuff like this
e8*2/3 dis cis cis8. dis16 e8*2/3 dis cis cis8. dis16
Is not really nice to enter, while
e12 dis cis cis8. dis16 e12 dis cis cis8. dis16
would be much less effort.

Cheers, Valentin
