New issue 941 by v.villenave: Enhancement: merging make-markup-command and  
make-builtin-markup-command
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=941

New request from David Kastrup:

"""
make-markup-command and make-builtin-markup-command have different
syntaxes and semantics, making the latter an "insider" command that
complicates the transition from advanced user to Lilypond contributor.

There has been work done on unifying the syntax at
<URL:http://codereview.appspot.com/160048>.  The last changes of those
patch sets have eliminated make-builtin-markup-command completely, and
one has been adding a command line option that stops indexing for
make-builtin-markup-command (and the respective markup list command)
completely.  The latter will make only sense if the effect of this
option is made to extend to further commands not related to markup.
"

David also mentioned that the Contributor's Guide could be improved in this
regard:

"""
If the decision is "no change at all", the patch set at
<URL:http://codereview.appspot.com/157133> improves the CG
documentation.  It also forms an excellent starting point if the
decision is to incorporate more of the first-mentioned patch, or
otherwise change the commands of make-markup flavor.
