    I'm pretty sure that this is easy to implement.  Is there any reason not to 
make this a default?

II do not want it to be a default.  I want to have control of the bar lines.

Ossia staffs do not have thin double bars, as far as I can see.

The end of music does not have thin double bar lines.

As I'm working my way through entering  piece a few bars at a time, I don't 
want a thin double bar at the end of the current engraving.  I want each 
measure to look just as it will when typeset the next measure.

The only time I would want to have a thin double bar be generated would be if  
I had something in my code to indicate that this is the end of the music.  And 
the easiest thing to indicate the end of the music is \bar "|." Or \bar "||".
