I have now pushed that patch. Although I'm not 100% happy with it, I have not 
added a new parser keyword (ie. NO \contextmodifications), only \with is 
allowed. While this might be clear for lilypond insiders, to a new user an 
assignment like
  something = \with { context-mods-here-only }
will not be clear.

Cheers,
Reinhold
