For example: We could use 3 for 2*3/2, 5 for 4*5/4, 6 for 4*3/2, 7
for 8*7/8, 9 for 8*9/8, 10 for 8*5/4, 11 for 8*11/8, 12 for 8*3/2
and so on.
LilyPond is a notation program first, and your proposal does not map
to notation since tuplets also involve choices of beaming and
division.
There's a lot of music that contains tuplets (mainly triplets) without
tuplet numbers.  Such a notation would simplify things.
I actually fail to see this as a compelling use case.

This was an accidentally sent part of a draft of the previous message.

Sorry for the noise.
