Why? The first two are only interesting if you have your own standard 
include file with utility functions. I guess that most users will copy 
paste the code from the manual or from some previous file and in that 
case, the third option is easiest to use, since it's only a single line.
Considering the recent trend to add predefined commands to LilyPond, I'm 
surprised that noone has proposed to add the \noPointAndClick function. 
I prefer that one to the #(nopc) since it avoids the Scheme syntax for 
the end user.
