OK - sounds sensible. (allows the user to have dotted/dashed lines, and
even pedal markings above the stave!)

What do you mean by 'switch between' here? If the molecule-callback for
SustainPedalBracket is the Text_spanner::brew_molecule, then surely all
the properties of text spanners are already available to the user. Apart
from edge-width, edge-height and shorten, but do we want to allow for
brackets that don't line up properly?
