I suggested it weightily.
The notations attached to <> are engraved as if they were attached to a note 
starting at the musical moment of the empty chord.

When I'm writing a decrescendo at the first beat of a measure, for example, I know 
that LilyPond joins it with the next dynamic if there is one, but stops the hairpin 
at the barline if I end it with \!.  That's the right thing to do, and the docs told 
me how LilyPond does it.  When the note or rest that would take the \! is separated 
by a double bar, key change, comments, etc., I happily type s1*0\!, or <>\!, 
before the double bar, etc., and get the same correct output.
