Excellent!  Thank you so much.  I hope that 

            \translator {
                \RhythmicStaffContext
                \consists "Clef_engraver"
                BarLine \override #'bar-size = #0
            }
will work also, because I like the way it looks at the
bottom of a staff group, when it borrows the other
staff's bars.  I have documents using it
both ways now, and supporting both ways would be
good IMHO.
