Whatever seems better to Han-Wen and the developers. The reason I used
the exclusion rather than inclusion approach (which notes of an
otherwise tied chord should *not* be tied, instead of which notes of an
otherwise untied chord *should* be tied) in my example, was because I
thought someone might write the ambiguous--

<c~ e g bes~>4~

--but your example looks fine to me too. I merely suggested the
functionality, and trust that Han-Wen and the developers with their
knowledge of the logic and design principles of LilyPond would best know
how to include such functionality.
