If you search the mailing list archives, you will find out that LilyPond had
such a feature up to version 2.2, when it was removed as part of a
reimplementation of the slur support. Apart from the technical difficulty of
supporting it with the new implementation, another reason was the intention
that LilyPond should "do the right thing" in a sufficiently large portion of
all cases that the feature was no longer needed.
