It's more like ChoirStaffs accept a StaffGroup (which is then implicitly
created and accepts whatever you declared it to accept).

Try putting some distinctive override into StaffGroup, like \override
NoteHead.font-size = 3 and you'll see it when your "ChoirStaff accepts"
your Foo context.

\new Voice ... implicitly creates a Staff, and \new Foo ... implicitly
creates a StaffGroup.
