Then we are at the beginning again...

While working on tablature features, I was working on an easy way to
write dead notes. First, I had one command for single notes, as in

c d \deadNote e f

Then, I tried to expand this for chord constructs, as your tweak example
above, but in the form

< c \chordDeadNote e g >

At least, we (that is, mostly Carl and Neil) developed a command that 
recognizes
where it is called, so one can use

c d \deadNote e < c \deadNote e g >.

So I strongly claim for using \xHead to bring the tablature support 
forward, and if
it is possible to realize Carls proposals, it is an internal change 
which doesn't
affect the syntax.
