To clarify: we're proposing that we include a
ly/bagpipe.ly
similar to ly/english.ly and whatnot.  I've tested several versions of
bagpipe.ly, and it works, other than...

... this \flatten thing.  I'm not certain that removing Key_engraver and
Accidental_engraver, and having a special \flatten markup is the best
way to do things.

Other than that, I propose that we accept ly/bagpipe.ly -- particularly 
since
it doesn't change anything for non-bagpipe music.  I've already added
docs for bagpipe stuff.  :)
