Here's another possibility with just two modes:

  \relative [optional pitch] {…}
  \octave [obligatory pitch] {…}

And then just use \octave c {…} instead of \absolute {…}.

In most cases one would simply use plain {…} for absolute-entry and would only 
need to use \octave c {…} when embedding inside \relative {…}.

(Hmmm… I think I prefer this approach over the others.)
