Oh, come on! What is so hard about typing #?  On an English
keyboard, you already need to be pressing the shift key to get the
" that you'll type for your string anyway.

Rewriting the parser for such a trivial thing would be a waste of
resources.  Just get used to typing #, just like {} or ,' or any
other piece of lilypond input.  The docs are supposed to use #""
all the time, to reinforce this point.
Do you really mean "all the time", i.e. even in situations like

\new Voice = "one" { ... } ...
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "one" { ... }


as described in LM 3.2.3, for example? In that case, you've
given your GDP helpers some extra job.
