After a bit of thinking I'd say: go the radical route.

Attached is a patch against current master that implements it that way. An 
additional no-extender property
is added that can only be overridden by the force-extender property.

\layout {
    \Lyrics
    \override LyricExtender.no-extender = ##t
}

"" and \markup\null are usefull, see 5th exampled in attached lyrextest.ly/pdf

I know that the documentation would need some work, but there is no reason to 
start with that until
it is known that the changed code would be accepted.

Please test ...
