Uh, David is so bad at expressing his opinions that you should be wary
of rephrasing him.
Basically, I objected to
a) the availability of tiewaitfornote being an obstacle to making a~b
behave as a slur
b) having a~b produce a slur be standard behavior
c) a mode where a~b both produces a slur as well as a warning
That is, I analyzed in what manner a~b producing slurs could be made an
option in Lilypond without producing a total mess. That does not mean
that I consider it a good idea. But I can tolerate bad ideas if they
are switched off by default. As long as they don't clutter the code all
too badly. In this case, I have the feeling that they might. But
without any prospective code, I can't judge that aspect.
