Yes, I'm aware that the manual has a chapter about scheme.

None of the scheme examples that I've seen (in the manual, input/test,
input/regression, or LSR) look like lilypond commands.  They all use
\applymusic, \applyoutput, \foo #x { c4 }, or \markup{ \foo }.

In addition, I'm not certain that lilypond's architecture allows for
unattached ^\markup{}s to be floating around.  Assuming my desire
is even possible, the scheme function would need to return

\markup{ \bold foobar }

to attach it to the
c4^\schemefunction{ foobar }

I suspect the answer to my question is no; that
c4^\markup{ \schemefunction foobar }
is the best way to do what I want.  However, I'm not certain; hence my 
question.
