I think having openlilylib in a state where it’s reliable, easy to use 
and gets adopted more generally would be a huge step forward for all of 
LilyPond. I’m thinking (as I’m certain you are, too) of something 
comparable to the package system of the TeX universe, which offers a 
great possibility to provide facilities for very different use cases 
without blowing up the core program, while still having them readily 
available, documented and comfortable to maintain.
So don’t be too uneasy about bringing openLilyLib up here, I think.
