I absolutely agree that everything should be in an articulations list,

RestEvents and broadcast at the iterator level.

There is such a thing as a chord articulation.

Why couldn't this distinction be captured via a different event name?

ChordArticulationEvent versus ArticulationEvent, for example.

What do you do with <c e g>\p then?

\p is an AbsoluteDynamicEvent and is not treated like articulations.

What would really help are some before/after examples (ly code and/or music streams and/or brief text like "before the patch, you could not do X, after, you can" or "this patch will allow me to experiment with implementing X") would help a great deal.  As if it were going into the Change Log, for example.
