If the slur is not split into different segments, a will be 0 and b will be
1.  So this proposal is still more complex than necessary.  What about just
defining a function

\setSlurDash dash-fraction dash-period

that would create the appropriate entry for dash-definition?  We would also
have \setPhrasingSlurDash.
