OK, then perhaps it shouldn't be removed from the manual. However, the 
property is still a bit too odd to be mentioned in the "Basic Notation" 
chapter IMHO, perhaps it's better to move it to somewhere in the internals 
docu, or to an example in tips&tricks.

You could write such a bar command in Scheme, but that's even more guru:ish.

Bar = #(def-music-function (parser loc str) (string?)
  (context-spec-music (make-property-set 'whichBar str) 'Timing) )

\new Staff { c \Bar #"|." c }
