Now, if someone overrides TextScript's 'extra-spacing-width like this, he 
probably /intends/ to change the horizontal spacing.  Do you plan to remove 
'extra-spacing-width in the near future?

The concept of what constitutes a "neighbor" is getting complicated.  
Horizontal spacing will change based on complicated details which will surprise me when I 
forget how it works (in about a week) :

\new GrandStaff <<
\new Staff \repeat unfold 5 R1
\new Staff {
   \override TextScript #'extra-spacing-width = ##f
   dis4 dis dis dis^"sliding-over" |
   dis4 dis dis dis^"sliding-over-not" |
   R1*2 f''1 } >>
