Hahaha, and what could be simpler to use than the LSR?
Anyway, git doesn't scare me, but posting a half-baked
snippet might.  I'll wait to hear more feedback before I
consider adding anything.

David, just so you know, the archive on gnu.org (that some
of us use) munges urls containing "@" since it tries to hide
email addresses.  See:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-devel/2013-09/msg00031.html

David's file can be found here (change "[at]" to "@"):

Yes, hopefully someone reading this thread can comment on
that!  (not just the extender lines, but the suspension
connectors too)

It shouldn't be too hard to combine the thoroughness of your
function with the convenient input syntax of mine.  But 
before I spend any more time on this, I'd like to know if
it's a dead end with regard to the suspension connectors
mentioned above.
