There were already some (intense?) discussion about this.
See issue #1067, which is AFAICS the same request as yours.
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=1067
Graham said he added it to the list of things to discuss in GLISS.

In case you did not know, there is already a "shortcut syntax" when
repeating the same chord: 'q'

  <c e g>4 q q q
