It also changes the numbering of all subsequent bars. I don't know the 
author's intent in this case (I didn't write that snippet), but I guess it 
could be something like an attaca movement.

There are situations where this doesn't work. E.g., in
{ \key d\major fis f }
I can see no way to avoid displaying the natural.

(this example I gave is not realistic, but the below example suggests that it 
may happen that you want to tweak accidentals in unexpected ways, e.g. due to 
other bugs)
