You could be suggesting two different things:
1) include this snippet in our official docs.  That's definitely
possible, although it'll take about two weeks.

2) include the functions in lilypond itself.  That would require
an advanced user to contribute the scheme, probably sparking a
discussion about what to do with such "useful functions", which
will prompt me to yell at everybody about how we've been talking
about this kind of a thing for 3 years but nobody's willing to
take charge of it.
The second option *could* be done, but we're probably looking at a
2-6 month timeframe.


I'll begin #1.  #2 is probably going to wait until GOP, which will
start some time after 2.14 is out.
