Beautiful... simply beautiful.

As you mentioned, we need to be very careful with the upgrade path
here.  And we should spend at least two weeks discussing the new
syntax (\textCresc "my personal text" vs. \crText "" vs.
hard-coded \crPocoAPoco vs. whatever).

I can't speak to the actual C++ patch, but I'm *very* happy with
the flexibility those scheme functions give us.
